Cutaneous manifestations related to Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) have been reported over 2 years since the pandemic began. This research aimed to review articles published in English that describe cutaneous manifestations related to COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2. A data search for case reports, original studies, and review articles from the onset of the current COVID-19 pandemic to December 31, 2022, was performed using PUBMED, Cochrane Library, ResearchGate, and Google search engines. Keywords were "coronavirus", "novel coronavirus 2019", "COVID-19", "SARS-CoV-2", and "2019-nCoV" in combination with "cutaneous", "skin" and "dermatology" The extracted data included authors, region, sex, age, number of participants with skin signs, cutaneous signs, its location, symptoms, extracutaneous/associated symptoms, suspected or confirmed status for COVID-19, timeline, and healing duration. Six authors independently reviewed the abstracts and full-texts to identify publications providing these details concerning cutaneous manifestations related to COVID-19. A total of 139 publications with full text (122 case reports, 10 case series, and 7 review articles) that reported cutaneous manifestations were identified, and reviewed from 5 continents. The most common cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 were maculopapular, followed by chilblain-like lesion, urticarial, livedoid/necrotic, vesicular, and other/non-descript rashes/skin lesions. After 2 years into the COVID-19 pandemic, we can conclude that there is no pathognomonic cutaneous manifestation of COVID-19, since it can be also found in other viral infections.
