New Long Covid Symptom eczema on the ears...Anyone else?

Posted by covidstinks2023 @covidstinks2023, Aug 24, 2023

I'm so glad God has gifted me with a great sense of humor. After Covid last year, I started with a rash on the outside of both ears that was red and itched. I didn't make a connection. Dermatologist told me to use Cortizone 10. It helped, but it hasn't completely gone away. Well, a symptom of long Covid is eczema on the ears! Well, it's been said if both of your ears itch someone is talking about you. I surely hope it's good things they are saying! Have a blessed day all you long haulers!

Yes. I listed those two senses November 14, 2021, and still taste only the essence of foods (e.g., bitter vs. sweet).

Oh you poor thing! I sure hope my senses come back before that long. Have you considered doing acupuncture? I’m, as I mentioned, looking into it and hope that it will trigger something! Good luck on your journey to smelling and tasting!

Yes, it was I typo, and I did purchase the sensitive. One day now, two applications and things are under control. Thanks so much!

Oh I’m so happy to hear that! I found it very effective as well and when you stop scratching it helps you heal. I will share that as mysteriously as my rash started, it stopped a few weeks ago and hasn’t returned. If it does I’ll go right to my Sarno Sensitive! Good luck🙂

I contracted Covid in December of 2022 and to this date, September 1, 2023 have lost my taste and smell. It’s getting hard to enjoy anything I eat due to this! I also don’t ever get hunger pains, so I just eat when it’s time to eat. I recently started to taste a bit of my minty toothpaste, and when I eat something salty, I can taste the salt, but no flavors. I am in the process of finding an acupuncturist as I’ve been told they may be able to help. Anybody else experiencing this?

Although my sense of taste and smell were diminished pre Covid, they got much worse afterwards. Some days I can taste nothing at all. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich may feel creamy and taste sweet, without flavors. I’m 1 1/2 years post first infection and 7 months post my second (despite taking precautions) so at this point I believe all of my symptoms will come and go and return again, for the rest of my life. I am fortunate that none are of a bed-confining nature. To all of you suffering with extreme debilitating symptoms, my prayers.
