Abstract

This narrative review describes the manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 in skin at all ages reported to date. The objective is to understand the clinical presentation and time of onset in the course of the disease, to increase the performance of diagnostic tests and improve the identification of asymptomatic patients. They are classified into five groups: directly or indirectly related to the virus, toxicoderma, contact dermatitis and pressure trauma. Until now it has not been verified whether these lesions are due to a direct manifestation of the virus or due to an immune, nonspecific reaction or the treatments used.
