I was sent to an allergist because my Tryptase was abnormal on high end. Doc explored possible MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome). Indicators of MCAS are extreme allergic type reactions. (This is my poor layman's description as I understood it...) Immune system "overacts" causing these reactions. In our case(s), MCAS is caused by an extreme reaction to the COVID virus. Itching and rashes indicate an allergic reaction in most cases. So, this correlation made sense to me. You might to bring this topic up with your doc. You never know. Blessings!
