there is no direct link between the Covid-19 and the onset of frostbite, is it clear on Tuesday of a study conducted within the department of dermatology of the Saint-Luc university Clinics. These lesions may be an indirect consequence of the confinement, and especially of the sedentary lifestyle it induces.
For several weeks, social networks, and several scientific publications reported an increasing number of cases of frostbite in people thought to be suffering from Covid-19 in several countries, mainly in adolescents and young adults. In Belgium, doctors have also observed a large number of patients with these lesions.
