Abstract

The dermatological signs of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) in children are uncommon and different from adults.

This article describes four different cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 in children, including chilblains, erythema multiforme-like lesions (EM), urticaria, and vesicular rash in terms of recalling to mind COVID-19 infection.
