When COVID-19 started to spread last year throughout the world, we began to learn about its symptoms. Aside from shortness of breath, cough, and fever, we now understand that rashes might also indicate that you have the virus.

Rashes currently associated with COVID-19 are similar to those you would see with other viruses. They include:
This widespread rash usually accompanies fever, malaise, and a headache.
This rash is a discoloration of the skin and has a net-like or lace-like appearance.
This group of disorders results in the inflammation of your blood vessels in your skin.
This rash appears in hives, or swelling, or both. It can also cause itching or burning, and is usually red in appearance.
This rash looks like the chicken pox, forming itchy, red blisters on the skin.
This appears as dark, crusted lesions on the top of your toes and fingers that resemble frostbite.
These symptoms occur in children ages 6 months to age 5, causing lesions and a lacy, raised red rash.
If you have COVID-19, your body might develop a rash as a response to the viral infection.
