Summary
A COVID-19 patient presented with a rare erythema multiforme (EM) rash. This case adds to the understanding of dermatological signs associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Infectious Diseases
- Virology
Background:
- COVID-19 pandemic has caused millions of deaths globally.
- Cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 are increasingly reported.
- Limited case reports exist on erythema multiforme (EM) in COVID-19 patients.
Observation:
- A healthy patient with COVID-19 infection presented with a new pattern of EM lesions.
- No other significant medical history was noted for the patient.
Findings:
- The patient exhibited erythema multiforme (EM) as a dermatological sign of COVID-19.
- This presentation represents a potential new exanthem pattern associated with the virus.
Implications:
- This case contributes to the growing knowledge of COVID-19's dermatological effects.
- Further research is necessary to confirm the link between EM lesions, COVID-19, and other potential factors like medication.

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
