The COVID-19 epidemic which is travelling across the world is revealing some unusual things for the clinical signs that appear to be different for every person as well as in different countries. Various body systems are affected in a different way in several amounts in different suffers. There have been several reports in the media and in the medical publications of a array of distinct skin complaints in people who have contracted coronavirus. One of the peculiar ones which has been given some attention within the mass media is just how more and more of those with COVID-19 are developing chilblains, mainly children and people who would not generally develop these. Chilblains tend to be fairly frequent anyway in the colder environments. The very first accounts of these lesions in individuals with coronavirus was while in the winter weather in Spain and also Italy, so you might anticipate numerous people to get them anyways. Subsequent exploration focused on if these were simply an incidental observation or if the problem really was causing the chilblains and they're part of the disease process of the disease. It's still unsure at this stage which one is likely to be the problem.

An episode of the podiatry affiliated livestream, PodChatLive addressed this concern on chilblains in COVID-19 as well as the nature of the phenomenon. The hosts on the livestream talked about the topic with Nadia Dembsky, a podiatrist from South Africa who has a specific interest in this subject and who is intending on doing a PhD on the topic. The hosts of the show and Nadia did especially cover the issues about if the chilblains are a part of the disease process of the coronavirus or if perhaps they can be just standard everyday chilblains which are just more common in those infected by COVID-19. This particular event of PodChatLive was broadcast live on Facebook and the edited version of the video is uploaded to YouTube, along with an audio edition for the typical podcast web sites.
