Abstract

COVID-19 is a global pandemic that started in 2020. During the pandemic, patients have presented with various cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 infections. Currently, COVID-19 infections are still present worldwide, although to a lesser extent. This case report describes a 21-year-old male patient who presented with papulovesicles on his hands and lateral aspects of his ankles for three days. The patient also experienced respiratory symptoms for eight days and tested positive for COVID-19. It is important to have an understanding of the skin manifestations associated with COVID-19, as this can aid in the diagnosis and comprehension of the condition.
