I got a weird rash type thing around the time I was sick. It was like really dry super dry skin that ive never had before with raised welts like hives on my legs going to about 5 to 6 inches above the knee and around the back that were sometimes painful to slightly itchy. It did last for over a month. This was before and after the fever was gone. I put vitamin E lotion on it and it helped as well as vitamin C citric lotion which worked best. But there was a chain of symptoms. It was like the virus was seeking out a weak area. I didnt really figure out what was going on until I started seeing the new symptoms such as “no taste or smell” (son had that as did at least 2 coworkers).
Do you recall if they were on one side of the body? ... (from the reference of your spine, left to right...)
