Some reports of unexpected skin rashes among those previously infected with COVID-19 add to ongoing questions over how the disease impacts the immune system.

and a clinical instructor at the University of British Columbia’s Department of Dermatology and Skin Science, told CTVNews.ca in a phone interview. The most common post-COVID-19 issue he deals with is hair loss.

“I was picking up and seeing a lot of reports from stylists and salon owners saying that people were having these new reactions that weren’t having them before so it really alerted me to -- something is going on here,” Stacey, Gemma’s hairdresser, told the U.K. news outlet. She said other clients had experienced a similar issue so it was not an isolated incident.

"In addition, in cases where a client has been vaccinated and may be prone to allergies, we encourage a 48 hour patch test." While there has been little documented about this issue, Donovan says it is still important to raise awareness among hairdressers, physicians, and the public, to better understand what may be happening.

Her rashes appeared within the first month of contracting COVID-19 and have continued to flare up once or twice every two weeks or so since, each time with no signal or warning, Laroche said. And this past summer, she found she could not be in the sun at all. Her skin erupted in a severe rash that felt like a really bad sunburn despite wearing a shawl, she added.

Anyone can have a reaction to anything … frig I had an allergic reaction to a strain of strep throat when I was a kid ( random thing on the planet )

And its probably a reaction to the garbage you thought was a good idea. 🤦‍♂️👉

Hair dye is a carcinogen

Seriously the province is trying to get back to some normalcy and here you are grasping at straws and keeping the fear alive

How bout reactions to Covid ? Should someone worry about their hair colour or rash on body when they stick a tube down your throat 🤷‍♂️

Are you trying to create more fear? I'm extremely disappointed in CTV more and more. Do better. Grow a conscience, please...

And vampire babies! ctv news doesn’t want u to get vaccinated cause they r worried about what they will manipulate and twist without covid

The title is misleading since the article states that it seems both people who have had COVID and those vaccinated seem to have increased reactions... Maybe it’s because both trigger your immune response in a new way🧐

Hair loss too

Glad to see CTV concerned with the side effects of hair dye, instead of the mandatory experimental vaccine. 🤡
