Summary
A Reddit user who had COVID in August developed severe skin symptoms that October, after carpet and padding were pulled up in their basement: burning, crawling and powdery sensations, bumps and cuts, and extreme sensitivity to dust and lint. They were much better, though not fully, during two months staying with family, and were suffering badly again by April 2023. They feared trying the Dupixent a dermatologist suggested.
