Abstract

The scientific evidence of cutaneous manifestation produced by the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19) is increasing. The exacerbation of pre-existing skin diseases and injuries due to prolonged use of per­sonal protection elements are emerging. Dermatology specialists must know them and guide in prevention and treatment as well.

This article reviews the skin manifestations in patients with COVID-19, cutaneous lesions that have arisen in health workers, the perspective of teledermatology as a tool to fight against the pandemics, some special considerations, and protection of skin and mucous membranes.
