I did a COVID test which was positive. I have read that pimples can be associated with this situation. How do I treat the pimples?

Hello Sir, would it be possible to know on which parts of the body the pimples are found? Are you able to upload some well-lit images?

Are you experiencing pain or itching?

Thanks for the feedback.

In the presence of only itching as another symptom, the basis of treatment is hydration of the skin and other non-pharmacological measures:

A fragrance-free moisturizer such as Aveeno, Cutibase, Base Glaxal, Cerave and others should be applied as often as needed. The cream should be applied whenever the need to scratch arises, among others.

Avoid perfumed soaps and, after the bath or shower, avoid rubbing the skin vigorously: instead, lightly pat the skin to leave a thin layer of moisture, then apply the moisturizing cream within 5 minutes of leaving the bath.

If non-pharmacological measures are insufficient and the situation persists for more than 10 days without improvement or worsens, you should consult a physician for a thorough evaluation of your needs.

I hope that I have been helpful to you and remain available if you have any further questions!

Tom Samaha, pharmacist

With pleasure, good day to you too!
