The short answer to this question is “no.” Rashes are very common and may be caused by various infections, heat, allergens, immune system disorders or even medications.
However, given increasing study of this area and mounting evidence that there may be some connection between the coronavirus and skin rashes, we have put together a list of the reported skin manifestations of COVID-19 below.
Diffuse maculopapular eruption seen in COVID-19 patients in Italy, France and Finland as seen in many viral exanthems including Dengue.
Italian study reported petechial eruption in COVID-19 confirmed patients from bleeding under the skin.
Transient blanching or mottling of the skin from ischemia of cutaneous blood vessels.
Chicken pox-like vesicles on erythematous base seen in COVID-19 patients in Italy.
Urticarial wheals were reported in COVID-19 patients in Italy and have been observed in confirmed as well as suspected cases in France, Finland, and the United States.
Micro-thrombi caused by COVID-19 cause acral ischemic lesions resembling perniosis, that are often painful or itchy. This has been referred to as “COVID toes” in the mainstream press and has been seen in many healthcare workers in the United States.
Most insurance plans cover Video Visits, also known as “telehealth” or “telemedicine” visits. However, if your claim is denied by your insurance carrier, or if you have no insurance or an insurance plan we do not accept, you will only be responsible for a maximum payment of $75, which includes the cost of any copayments you may have made prior to your visit.
If you are concerned about a new rash which you have not noticed before, we encourage you to seek professional evaluation and treatment. You can book a Video Visit with one of our board-certified dermatologists from the comfort of your own home.
