Dr Yi Fan, Wuhan Doctor Whose Skin Turned Dark Due To Coronavirus Treatment, Gets His Complexion Back After Fully Recovering From COVID-19

Dr Yi Fan and Dr Hu Weifeng from Wuhan, whose skin colour darkened due to COVID-19 treatment had raised many questions. Doctors treating them said that the reason behind the abnormal skin colour was due to the drug that had caused hyper-pigmentation in the doctor’s bodies. While Dr Hu Weifeng passed away, Dr Yi Fan has now fully recovered from the disease and his skin complexion returned to normal. A video appeared on social media that shows the 42-year-old greeting his colleagues and talking about his condition. His liver values returned to normal and so his skin colour. Reportedly, Dr Yi fell ill shortly after the virus broke out in Wuhan, China, before it swept across the world, killing above one million so far. Dr Yi Fan is a cardiologist, and he recovered from COVID-19, after doctors kept him on a life-support machine called ECMO for 39 days. After taking care of himself, Dr Yi Fan visited Wuhan’s Taikong Tongji Hospital, where he was treated, to thank the doctors who helped him recover fully.
