Summary
About 1.9% billion of our global population is suffering from diverse skin problems [1]. Skin problems constitute the fourth commonest etiology of human ailments; about one third of global illness is attributed to dermatological diseases [2]. Apart from clinical symptoms suggestive of respiratory syndrome, SARS-CoV-2 contributed to the development of depression and anxiety among our people [4]. Cutaneous lesions or changes have determined as one of the COVID related clinical presentations [5]. Pre-existing skin diseases like eczema and dermatitis among some patients got intensified due to COVID-19 [6]. A systematic review by Jamshidi et al revealed that presence of only dermatological lesions does not guarantee the severity of COVID-19 and patients with urticaria like manifestations had approximately 2.2% mortality rate [7]
