One of the side effects that I picked up since Covid is dry skin. I didn't realize it until I was talking with one of our work vendors a couple days ago and he was talking about the issue with his very dry hands ever since he caught Covid real bad several months back.
I used to have a little dry skin when it got super cold out and dry in the house, but now it seems like it's always dry. Like bad enough that I start a snow flurry of dead skin when I take my undershirt off for bed in the evening
The vendor was told by his doctor that is was because his immune system was still ramped up, which makes sense I suppose. Hope this isn't a long-lasting effect, but who know with the wild side effects this virus seems to have.

I haven't had any of that on this round, but make sure your whole house humidifier is on and working. That will dry you out if it is not working. I had one year that my back was terrible, but I lived in an old house and was using the fireplace a lot. No humidifier at all, even the wood on the floor was shrinking. It was horrible, and itched bad. I had to get a steroid cream to put on it.

I was outside most of the day-- our new guy was with me complaining about the cold (day stsarted at 6 drgs F and got to 12) - he had on a hoody and tennis shoes. I offered a brand new pair of bib coveralls- that i haven't even taken the tags off of yet-- as i had an older pair. no gloves either-- "millennials"-- he complained all day! ugh
