Since the start of the pandemic, researchers have documented dermatological manifestations of COVID-19. These have included strange rashes, itchy and burning skin, and even COVID toes, which the American Academy of Dermatology Association describes as "swelling or discoloration" on toes, fingers, or both, red or purple in color. Now, a group of researchers in Europe have identified a strange new symptom of the virus, inside of the mouth, which they claim may impact up to one-quarter of symptomatic individuals. Read on to find out what it is—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. The New Symptom is Called "COVID Tongue"Researchers at the Hospital Universitario La Paz, in Madrid have dubbed the new symptom "COVID tongue," revealing that over 25% of the 666 patients suffering mild to moderate infections presented with inflammation, bumps, coating, and ulcers on the tongue. In their study, published in the British Journal of Dermatology, they also found that 40% suffered from burning, hives, skin peeling, and redness on the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet, and nearly half—45.7%—experienced changes to their tongues, feet and hands."Almost half of patients with mild‐to‐moderate COVID-19 admitted in a field‐hospital during a two‐week period showed mucocutaneous findings," the researchers wrote in their letter. "The oral cavity was frequently involved and deserves specific examination under appropriate circumstances to avoid contagion risk."There are various forms of "COVID tongue," according to the researchers. They include transient lingual papillitis, described as inflammation of the small bumps on the surface of the tongue, glossitis, in which the tongue swells and changes color, aphthous stomatitis, brought on by benign and non-contagious mouth ulcers, and also patchy white coating on the tongue.Earlier in the month Professor Tim Spector, who runs the ZOE Covid Symptom Study app, also shared about the new symptom. "One in five people with Covid still present with less common symptoms that don't get on the official PHE list – such as skin rashes," he tweeted, along with a photo. "Seeing increasing numbers of Covid tongues and strange mouth ulcers.

After a tumultuous year like 2020, you may feel a dozen years older. After staying indoors, social distancing, and eating all your snacks, you may look a tad older, too. But just as Dr. Anthony Fauci says there's a "light at the end of the tunnel" with a vaccine coming, there's hope for you to feel your best again—maybe even better than ever. "You can't change what you were dealt with genetically but you can take control of other factors which will help to stay looking younger," says Dr. Eugene D. Elliott of MemorialCare. Read on for this essential advice, and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. 1 Avoid Chronic Sun Exposure "Chronic sun exposure is the most common extrinsic factor that affects skin aging," says Dr. Rashmi Byakodi, editor of Best For Nutrition. "The loss of collagen is considered the characteristic finding of aged skin. Wrinkling and pigmentary changes are directly associated with photo-aging."The Rx: "The only strategy that can prevent photo-aging is sun avoidance. Use sunscreens to block or reduce skin exposure to UV radiation," says Dr. Byakodi. "My favorite sunblocks are mechanical, contain zinc and/ or titanium dioxide, and block the UVA damaging rays very effectively with frequent application," says Dr. Elliott. 2 Find Ways to Destress "Stress is also associated with potentially harmful stimuli, making you look older," says Dr. Byakodi. "Relaxation methods like deep breathing and meditation can help to relieve stress."The Rx: "The interplay between mind, emotion and body have long been recognized," says Dr. Deborah Lee. "There are now many relaxation techniques that can be taught, which have been shown to help relieve stress, reduce blood pressure and reduce numerous physical complaints. These include breathing exercises, as well as yoga, meditation, aromatherapy and hydrotherapy to name a few." 3 Getting a Good Night's Sleep "Healthy young adults were photographed after 8 hours of sleep and again after sleep deprivation. Other observers were asked to rate their attractiveness. When the participants were sleep deprived, they were rated as less attractive, more tired, and less healthy compared to when they were rested," says Janet Hilbert, MD. "Getting a good night's sleep is not only good for the body and mind, but also improves attractiveness and other people's inclination to socialize with us." The Rx: "A good night's sleep can do wonders for your youthful appearance and since your face relaxes while you sleep that can also help soften fine lines on the face," says Andrea Paul, MD.

However, avoid watching TV or looking at any laptop, tablet or smart phone screens before hitting the hay, since those activities can trigger your brain to stay awake," suggests the experts at Sleep.org. 5 Eat Healthier "Eating healthy especially diets high in fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants found in these foods can decrease damage to the skin by free radicals and pollutants," says Dr. Poston."Try to moderate red meat. A Mediterranean diet appears to be more healthful," says Dr. Elliott. The Rx: Follow the nutrition advice on Eat This, Not That! to make the right food choice every time. 6 Don't Forget to Moisturize "Moisturize your skin. Dry skin looks flaky and grayer. Use a moisturizer every day, especially in the winter," says Dr. Poston. The Rx: "I keep skin care simple for my patients, usually a retinoid moisturizing product combined with a cleanser keeps the skin looking fresh," says Dr. Elliott. "My favorite skin care product that's appropriate for most patients contains peptides that stimulate stem cells, in cream and serum form that help defy aging." 7 You Can Invest in Some Minimally Invasive Techniques "There are some minimally invasive techniques to reverse skin aging: botox to decrease muscle hyper function creating wrinkles or fillers to replace fat atrophy in the face, a normal process of aging," says Chester F. Griffiths, MD.The Rx: Consider these factors from Henry Ford Hospital before committing to any kind of cosmetic alterations:Have realistic expectations.Check surgeons' qualifications.Evaluate the facility.Consider the timing.Save for the expense.Don't minimize risk.Be patient with recovery.Consider nonsurgical options. 8 Don't Smoke Smoking is known to prematurely age your skin.

Yes, weddings are still happening. Here's how couples are getting creative with their nuptials.
From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been discussion that the COVID-19 virus lives on surfaces for extended periods of time. This certainly drove the sales of hand sanitizer up at the beginning of the pandemic. As we have progressed, there are still people wearing gloves when they enter a public place out of fear of contracting the virus from surfaces. This is probably not as helpful as face masks in preventing the spread of COVID-19, but viruses do live on surfaces. Although the likelihood of transmission of COVID-19 has been found to be less frequent through contact with surfaces, there are still some surfaces that are concerning for the health of the public. Read on, and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus. 1 Door Handles As any surface that comes in contact with many different people certainly has a high risk for transmission of any disease, including COVID-19. Door handles are known to be a very common surfaces where people contract the influenza virus. It is good practice to wash your hands, or at least sanitize with an alcohol-based solution, after entering or exiting a public place. 2 Masks Although masks are very helpful in minimizing the transmission of COVID-19, touching the mask with your hands can be detrimental. If you touch the mask, the oils and debris within your hands can actually damage the mask and reduce the effectiveness of the mask. There is also the possibility of viral particles still living on the surface of the mask. If you touch these particles they can get transferred to your hands and then possibly to your nose or eyes. This is why it is recommended that you wear your mask and only take it off when you are able to wash your hands. 3 Plexiglass Separators It is difficult to order a sandwich or pick up a coffee at a neighborhood cafe without being confronted with plexiglass barriers. Thought to be very helpful in minimizing the community spread of COVID-19, they have become almost omnipresent. These barriers stop the particles from transferring from one person to another. The virus therefore can be found on the surface of the plexiglass. These separators should be washed often, and handwashing must occur after coming in contact with them. RELATED: COVID Symptoms Usually Appear in This Order, Study Finds 4 Remotes in Hotel Rooms Hotel rooms have been a point of concern for infection control long before the COVID-19 pandemic. Within the hotel room, the remote control is one of the most common sources of contamination. Although the risk is low for COVID-19 transmission, the likelihood of contact with other viruses and bacteria from previous guests makes the remote control an item that needs to be disinfected before it is used. 5 Straws From Other People Drinks The risk of transmission of COVID-19 is much higher when in contact with the oral secretions of an individual who has the disease. Straws and drinks have a high concentration of these secretions within them. It is a good recommendation to never share straws or glasses with others, but it especially not advised during a pandemic. As with many other items on this list, it is necessary to wash your hands after coming in contact with straws and drinks of others.RELATED: Dr. Fauci Says Most People Did This Before Catching COVID 6 Discarded Napkins or Tissues During cold and flu season it is very common to use nasal tissues, and napkins to clear the nasal congestion. It is good practice to throw the tissue away and wash your hands immediately afterward in order to reduce contamination. If you happen to pick up tissue or napkin that may have been used for this purpose, especially for someone else, it is imperative to clean your hands as soon as possible. Although COVID-19 is more likely to be transmitted from person to person rather than through contact with surfaces, it is still important to be vigilant. Hand hygiene is a very important step in reducing the likelihood of transmission of any virus or bacteria, even COVID-19. Do not touch your face, especially your mouth, nose, or eyes, after touching a possibly contaminated surface. This is good practice even when not in the midst of a pandemic, but has obviously been highlighted given the current events. 7 The Final Word From the Doctor As for yourself, do everything you can to prevent getting—and spreading—COVID-19 in the first place: Wear a face mask, get tested if you think you have coronavirus, avoid crowds (and bars, and house parties), practice social distancing, only run essential errands, wash your hands regularly, disinfect frequently touched surfaces, and to get through this pandemic at your healthiest, don't miss these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.
