Common symptoms of the Corona virus we all know are shortness of breath, persistent coughing, and fever. With time, science discovers other symptoms, some of which may be uncommon for all patients, such as: changing the sense of taste, smell, body pain, diarrhea, etc., but there is a new offer that may be added to the list of uncommon symptoms, which is Feeling of burning in the skin or skin becoming more sensitive, according to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”.
The newspaper has reported that some of the patients with Corona virus have different symptoms that they experienced while fighting the virus, and some of them described a new symptom, which is a feeling of skin flushing, and doctors said that this could be because the patient’s body resists infection and the virus.
One patient described her feeling that she had sensitive skin as if the skin was burning, or “a feeling of electricity on my skin.”

Dr. Daniel Griffin, head of infectious diseases, explained ProHealth Care Associates In New York, for the New York Post: He heard about this symptom with immediate skin irritation but this is not the case for those with Corona virus patients, who monitor their condition daily.
He said that this feeling may be the result of antibodies that interfere with the way the nerves work, but it is not fully known whether this is the body’s response to the virus or whether the virus is causing this sensation.
Dr. Vipul Shah, Director of Telehealth Service said Pack HealthThis feeling is still associated with a fever, adding, “If people don’t get used to having a fever, they may feel an electrical-like feeling in the skin.”
The doctor advised using aloe vera gel to relieve this feeling. Griffin also said that the reaction could be post-traumatic stress after patients recover from being in the intensive care unit or on ventilators.
“The Corona virus can cause persistent fatigue and feel that there is a haze and lack of focus,” he said, “and he recommended to let the body recover on its own.”
