description While COVID-19 initially appeared to be manifested primarily by respiratory symptoms, it is now known to be a multi-organ disease, also with dermatological manifestations. Cutaneous symptoms in patients with COVID-19 have a wide clinical spectrum. They may appear at any stage of the disease or as its sole manifestation.
