Understanding these dermatological manifestations is crucial for comprehensive patient care, early detection, and appropriate management strategies. This comprehensive review aims to synthesize the current literature on cutaneous manifestations associated with COVID-19, providing insights into their prevalence, clinical features, pathogenesis, and implications for patient care. By elucidating the dermatological aspects of COVID-19, healthcare professionals can enhance their diagnostic acumen and optimize patient outcomes in the context of this global health crisis. The recognition of dermatologic manifestations in COVID-19 patients is of paramount importance for accurate diagnosis, timely management, and understanding the systemic implications of the disease. This comprehensive review aims to elucidate the various cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 reported in the literature, encompassing a wide range of dermatologic presentations observed in both confirmed and suspected cases. By synthesizing existing evidence, this review seeks to enhance clinicians' awareness of COVID-19-associated dermatologic findings and facilitate optimal patient care amidst the ongoing pandemic.
