ABSTRACT:
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic brought dramatic changes to the social, personal, and occupational aspects of life on a global scale. The pathogen, which commenced in Wuhan China, was isolated from the lower respiratory tracts of infected patients rapidly spread throughout the Chinese mainland and various places across the globe. Initial tests highlight that COVID-19 is caused by a novel corona virus that shares a relationship with the viruses that trigger the acute respiratory syndrome. The review of the first cases acquired during the first two months revealed that the rapidly spreading disease causes varying degrees of illness. Specifically, the first documented patients did not present with fever or abnormal pulmonary radiological findings. Equally significant was the rarity of cutaneous manifestations. However, the disease is likely to have substantial implications on the practice of dermatology. This paper will seek to review the available literatures and present findings on the cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 with the aim of providing a way forward for the practice of dermatology Key words: Covid-19, Covid-19 toes, Livedoid patches, Dermatitis, Purpura
