It also says that a rash on the trunk of your body called pityriasis rosea can be triggered by other viruses, and has been seen in Covid.
It explains: “This starts with a single, large red patch, followed a few days later by many smaller red/darker patches on the trunk, which are not usually too itchy. In darker skin, the patches can be darker, brown or black.
“This rash goes away by itself after several months without treatment. If troublesome, moisturisers and topical steroid creams can be helpful.”
The NHS also says: “Many viruses, including Covid, produce a slightly itchy widespread rash called a viral exanthem. This can be lumpy and flat, red in people with lighter skin and brown/black in darker skin. It usually heals after a week or so with peeling of the skin, like that seen after a sunburn.”
