A pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization in March 2020. Several cutaneous manifestations of the disease among patients with COVID-19 have been reported. Thus far, the most frequently reported cutaneous findings are morbiliform rash, urticarial lesions, purpuric lesions, oral vesicles, and pityriasis rosea.
