Abstract:
Cutaneous abnormalities were among the first clinical findings reported in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the significance was initially unclear. Correlations have since been drawn between many of these cutaneous eruptions and their diagnostic or prognostic value. Additionally, COVID-19 vaccines have generated acute and delayed cutaneous reactions with which clinicians should be familiar. In this narrative review, we update the cutaneous abnormalities associated with COVID-19 infection for pediatric and non-White populations, and common cutaneous reactions to COVID-19 vaccines.
