What is it about?
Cutaneous manifestations, a well-known phenomenon of viral infections, are beginning to be reported in patients with COVID-19 disease. These manifestations mostly are morbilliform rash, urticaria, vesicular eruptions, acral lesions, and livedoid eruptions. If there are specific COVID-19 cutaneous manifestations, it will be important to determine whether any of them have clinical value. Especially, the cutaneous manifestations may help us to predict a more severe course and potentially mandate early aggressive intervention.
