Abstract
The pandemic of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is ongoing. After a reduction of the spread during summer in Western Countries, a rise of incidence has been registered in the last few months. During the first pandemic wave we described an outbreak of chilblain-like lesions (CLL), affecting in particular children and young adults.[SUP]1,2[/SUP] Similar lesions were also observed in many other dermatologic centers.[SUP]3,4[/SUP] While in summer no more patients with CLL have been reported, during the second wave of infection we faced again new cases of CLL (n=10, F/M=9/1, average age 16.6 years).
Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; chilblain-like lesions; cutaneous manifestations; skin.
