Abstract

SARS-CoV-2, which first appeared in China in 2019 and quickly spread over the world to become a pandemic in March 2020, is the virus that causes COVID-19.
COVID-19 is a multiorgan illness that also affects the skin, despite the fact that the lower respiratory tract has the most severe symptoms. Although the causal link between various skin lesions and SARS-CoV-2 infection has not yet been conclusively established, it has been suggested that these lesions are connected to the virus. In addition to the cutaneous presentations that manifest in patients with COVID-19 and are believed to be the result of the viral infection, other findings connected to the pandemic in a broader sense include dermatoses triggered or aggravated by the virus, the cutaneous side effects of the medications and protective measures, and the cutaneous side effects of COVID-19 vaccines. In this poster, we give a general summary of various skin disorders linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.
