Dr. Elena Pope
The head doctor treating children’s skin at the Hospital for Sick Children is suggesting parents look at their kids feet to see if there are unusual lesions around the toes that could be a sign of COVID-19 infection. Canadian Press says that Dr. Elena Pope has noticed an uptick in the appearance of so-called COVID toes in asymptomatic kids over the last few weeks in North America. “The kids are not really bothered by those lesions and I think that’s why it took a while for this to come to the forefront,” she said. “If they were not bothered by it, they maybe didn’t actually report it to their parents … most of the lesions disappear on their own. They fade over time.” CTV
