Having #bloodshot eyes can be due to things like;

- fumes
- eye injury
- eye allergies
- smoking e.g. marijuana
- infections like conjunctivitis or 'apolo'
- eye strain from computer use
- acute glaucoma, etc

It's one common eye hint which most people can easily trace the cause
White or pale #conjunctiva is a common sign of anaemia (low red blood cells level).

Severe malaria, sick cell crisis, massive blood loss, hookworm, etc, can all cause anemia

The whiter your conjunctiva looks, the worse the level of anemia.

Dermatologist are seeing more and more #skin symptoms related to #COVID19 . Acral lesions (i.e. hands and feet) are particularly frequent, specially in #children and #youngadult with no or few COVID symptoms. After seeing many cases, here is my vision: #Thread 👇
I think that these kind of lesions can be classified in four types. 1. Chilblain-like lesions, which are the most described, usually affecting many fingers / toes, either symmetrically or not. Pruritic and/or painful.
2. Insect-bite like lesions, that may also appear in the palm and the soles. Very #itchy and persistent (more than 2 weeks in some cases)
