Sofia was a keen ダンサー and active 十代の少年少女 before she was struck 負かす／撃墜する with the 病気.

She 明らかにする／漏らすd: 'Before this, I was singing, dancing and just running around the place.'

However since October, she has been debilitated by Covid Toes, chilblain-like lesions which appear on toes after a Covid-19 感染.?

She said:?'My feet swell up, I get blisters all over them and they go from pink to purple really quickly.'?

'Covid toes' that turn purple from the 病気 can last for MONTHS after （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing the ウイルス, scientists （人命などを）奪う，主張する?

'Covid toes' is just one of many 肌 manifestations 報告（する）／憶測d in 患者s.?

Dr Faheem Latheef, a 顧問 dermatologist and 肌 アレルギー specialist, said 普通は 肌 symptoms are 原因（となる）d by the 団体／死体's 免疫の system, not the ウイルス itself.

'The main 推論する／理由 is a hypersensitive 免疫の reaction,' he told MailOnline in April. 'It's the 団体／死体's reaction to something it perceives as foreign.'?

研究員s at King's College London called for 肌 無分別なs to be considered as the fourth 重要な symptom of Covid-19 in July, after a cough, fever and loss of taste and smell.?

Using data from the COVID Symptom 熟考する／考慮する app from around 336,000 正規の／正選手 UK 使用者s, 研究員s discovered that 8.8 per cent of people 報告（する）／憶測ing a 肯定的な coronavirus swab 実験（する） had experienced a 肌 無分別な as part of their symptoms.

This compares with 5.4 per cent of people with a 消極的な 実験（する） result, showing it is more ありふれた in those who have the coronavirus and therefore must be 原因（となる）d by it.??

Dr Adil Sheraz, a 顧問 dermatologist and spokesperson told MailOnline in April: 'A variety of 肌 manifestations have been seen in Covid-19 肯定的な 患者s.?

'However we are uncertain whether these are 直接／まっすぐに 関係のある to the ウイルス itself or to the 複雑化s of the 感染.

'If y ou develop a new 無分別な then please speak to your GP or dermatologist. Almost all dermatologists are 申し込む／申し出ing 事実上の 協議s and even 直面する to 直面する in 緊急の 事例／患者s. A diagnosis of Covid-19 should not be made from just the presence of a 無分別な.'

She 追加するd: 'I get lumps on the 底（に届く） of them which makes it really hard to stand up for long.?

'I can't wear any other shoes apart from flip-flops.?

'Any other shoes touch my feet and it is too sore on them.'

And にもかかわらず doctors 予報するing the 病気 is Covid Toes, Sofia has never 実験（する）d 肯定的な for the ウイルス.

She said: 'All the antibody 実験（する）s and Covid 実験（する）s have been 消極的な, but everyone still thinks its long Covid.??

'It's 肉親，親類d of scary because I don't really know what's happening.?

'The doctors never really said how long it was last for so I'm やめる 脅すd to be honest.'

一方／合間 Gaby said she had tried everything to 改善する her daughter's 条件 - from 医薬s and creams to steroids.?

Scientists 以前 明らかにする／漏らすd how?'Covid toes' that turn purple from the 病気 can last for at least five months after 生存者s （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 the 感染.??

In some people, the 肌 problem has become a manifestation of 'Long Covid', 継続している for months after 患者s have fought the ウイルス off.

Dermatologists who 行為／行うd 研究 in October 恐れるd the 事例／患者s they have seen are 'just the tip of the iceberg', and that it is in fact a ありふれた 贈呈 of the ウイルス.

Previous 研究 見積（る）s that around one in 12 people with coronavirus develop some 肉親，親類d of 肌 （民事の）告訴, and 専門家s have 繰り返して called for health 長，指導者s to recognise it as an 公式の／役人 symptom.

研究員s at King's College London called for 肌 無分別なs to be considered as the fourth 重要な symptom of Covid-19 last year, after a cough, fever and loss of taste and smell.

Their 研究 fo und?characteristic 肌 無分別なs and 'Covid fingers and toes' can occur in the absence of any other symptoms and 影響する／感情s around 8.8 per cent of 患者s.??
