COVID-19 has been shown to have various
manifestations across systems but the cutaneous manifestations serve as
indispensable clues to the occurrence, and worsening of COVID-19 as well as
useful markers for prognosis.
Maculopalular manifestations of COVID-19

The severity of COVID-19 can be predicted by the acroischemia in COVID-19 while
livedoid eruptions have also been reported to have the highest mortality.
For prompt diagnosis, better management and
prognosis; intentional attention to the skin through the involvement of
Dermatologists is key to better health for the patient.
