Very ironic posting. The tops of my feet, ties, and lower ankles are developing dark pigmentation. As i was to figure it out, your post came up!
I went to my doc who photographed it for my e-records and noted “possible covid rash aka Covid toes” after looking at some pictures at your link and looking at other sites.
I didn’t know it could be another long Covid “thing” or related to autoimmunity issues.
They said I was a “mystery” and referred me to a dermatologist. Curious about how this unfolds.

WOW! If there are two of us in this group, and w/ the article, more, perhaps we can begin to gain attention to our condition. I was 'dismissed' as "it can't be COVID related" beginning in April 2023 w/ my first ER visits and then dermatologist and then podiatrist and PCP because "no one else"...blah blah blah.

Mine began with swelling of my right leg where the rash was - and then the other leg. No one used the term "lymphedema" until Feb. 2024. IF they had even considered it (since I'd never had leg and feet swelling before) and that the rash too appeared only after I'd had COVID (and took one dose and then had to stop Paxlovid bc of a reaction), the lymphedema could've been treated earlier.

Let's both keep posting as we learn more and as more research is found on this symptom.

btw: it was written in the last months that there are at least 200 symptoms considered to be "long COVID".
