Blisters occasionally form and my toes have a purple tint. It's been over two months and I can't take it anymore. Thanks for the reply. Indeed yes they look exactly like these pictures. However I have no symptoms and have not been in contact with anyone affected. I understand. I have been having this problem for over 2 months now.... I have been in contact with my family since then and no one has anything at all. I also have episodes of Raynaud's Syndrome... Is there any chance it could be something else?

My toes are swollen and very itchy. I have very poor circulation. Do you have a remedy?

Hello Ma'am,

Do your toes look like the ones shown in the following article photo: https://www.sciencesetavenir.fr/sante/dermato/coronavirus-des-engelures-aux-mains-ou-aux-pieds-pourraient-etre-un-nouveau-symptome-du-covid-19_143285?

People who develop "COVID toes" sometimes have no other symptoms.

I encourage you to act as if you are infected and take precautions to avoid contact with others. I also invite you to be screened for COVID, by contacting 1-877-644-4545.

Yes, of course!

My opinion here is not a diagnosis, as only a doctor can make a diagnosis. He will do so after a complete physical examination, which is necessary to be more sure of the precise diagnosis.

It could be Raynaud's, COVID19 or many other things. By calling the number, getting screened and seeing a doctor (in that order), we will be more sure of the cause of your symptoms.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
