Tiny pimply rash, always there but very itchy off and on

Posted by bmd @bmd, Feb 6, 2023

In month 11. Was feeling better for about 2 1/2 weeks, then rash started and getting worse every day. Anyone else experiencing this?

My rash appeared 10 1/2 months after having covid. Not that I haven't been experiencing other symptoms all along. This is just something new that popped up about 10 days ago. It's on my torso. Very itchy. So far the only treatment I've used is to put a soothing moisturizing cream on the affected areas. I do this multiple times during the day. I'm open to other suggestions.

Have you been checked for other things? Scabies and shingles both appear as a very itchy rash, often on the torso, and have specific treatments.

The skin where the rash is has taken on a light brownish hue. I'm calling my PCP. Let's see what he says.

I have developed a rash 10 months out from having Covid. It is on my cheek bone and hairline.

Doctors almost always say "its dry skin". Even when my arms were covered by an angry red rash (I knew that was a reaction to wood dust and sap). They generally say that it is eczema and prescribe hydrocortisone or other anti inflammatory cream/gel. I had extremely itchy rashes on my arms and legs for many years, like tiny water blisters. In my case it was gluten and it went away within a few months of gluten free. You might consider an elimination diet. I also got facial acne after covid and that doctor prescribed metronidazole gel (worked, but took a few months). If I live to be 100 I'll have quite the illness collection, not as much fun as collecting chocolates.
