In December 2023 I was diagnosed as Covid positive. Two days later I developed a very itchy red spot on the inside of my right knee. It looked like an insect bite. The following day I had several red spots in the same place. Within a week I had developed patches of eczema all over my body from the neck down to the front of my feet. My GP prescribed Betnovate cream, which gave partial relief before referring me to Dermatology at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where I continue to receive treatment. The dermatologist there thought Covid had damaged my immune system. Has anyone else developed eczema under these circumstances?
