Foot sores similar to chickenpox could be a new peculiar symptom of the coronavirus, according to a team of Spanish physicians.

The Spanish General Council of Official Podiatrist Colleges warned experts that some COVID-19 patients have experienced lesions on their feet “similar to those of chickenpox or measles,” according to Newsflash.

“They are purple lesions (very similar to those of chickenpox, measles or chilblains) which usually appear on the toes and normally heal without leaving a mark,” the group said.

The health professionals said that the strange symptom was observed among mostly young coronavirus patients in Italy, France and Spain.

“There has been an increasing detection of a symptom in COVID-19 sufferers, especially in children and adolescents, however, it has also been detected in some adults,” the group said.

The council noted, however, there haven’t been enough scientific studies to back up the findings, the report said.

“Obviously, due to the short time we still cannot speak of scientific evidence,” the group said.

Meanwhile, the Internationaal Federation of Podologists released a report about a 13-year-old boy who complained last month of foot sores.

It was initially assumed he was suffering from a spider bite, but he later started experiencing symptoms of the coronavirus, the outlet reported.

Doctors later discovered that his coronavirus-stricken sister and mother had a fever, cough and trouble breathing six days before the lesions on his feet appeared.

The Spanish General Council of Official Podiatrist Colleges is now calling on medical professions to look out for lesions as a possible early symptom of the virus, which has spread to nearly 2 million people across the world.

“The Podologists Council urges its colleges and its members to remain alert because this can be a sign of detection of COVID-19 to avoid infection,” the group said.
