In the weeks after Covid hospitalization, I developed a rash that my primary said was eczema and prescribed a steroid cream for it. It spread and a stronger steroid was prescribed. Seven months after Covid, with the rash now covering half my back, on an ear, my shoulders, neck, scalp, wrist, and buttocks, a dermatologist pronounced it tinea (ringworm), and said I probably got it due to a weakened immune system. The steroids I'd been using for seven months were making it worse and in effect, feeding it. I'm on an antifungal now and after 10 days, it's 80% gone.

Thank you for this valuable information and I am so glad it's 80% gone for you. WOW! You had a rough case of it and I am so sorry. This is the first of heard of ringworm. Praying it goes away completely for you. Hugs & Prayer...

I attributed a rash on my chest, underarm, right side only, to a high end sunscreen allergic reaction. I also have the rash on the inside bend of my arms. Not just a rash but bumpy. When do we know if ever if this is a long Covid reaction?
