Abstract

This case report describes a skin rash presented in a patient diagnosed with COVID-19. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, no skin involvement was initially observed, but more recent cases have been reported. (Marraha, 2020) Most of the cases were in Italy (eleven cases), Spain (nine cases), France (seven cases), and the United States (six cases). (Sameni, 2020) In a recent letter from Thailand, it was stated that almost all COVID‐19 patients had cutaneous signs. (Wollina, 2020)
