I have not heard of this symptom in Long COVID patients...most of us are actually more sensitive with increased pain, itching, pins and needles, extreme sensitivities to heat or cold, etc. I would sure find a good doc and get a workup...there are diseases that can damage nerves and cause sensory loss in the skin.

Thank you would you have any recommendations tyvm
@zilowitz possible culprits could include nerve damage caused by severe vitamin deficiencies, diabetes, alcohol use or toxins, Hansens disease, MS, or a spinal cord injury/disorder. Few things cause complete and total lack of sensation in the skin.
