Doctors cite various types of rashes that may be associated with the virus, including hives and fluid-filled red bumps.
, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, notes "red rashes, hives, and fluid-filled red bumps that look like chickenpox."
Asked how can we be sure that the rashes some COVID-19 patients are exhibiting are related to the virus,, board-certified dermatologist and interim chair of dermatology at George Washington University School of Medicine, answers simply: "We can't." More research is needed to determine a correlation between COVID-19 and potential skin manifestations. As of now, he notes, "there has been no correlation between the skin rashes and severity of disease.
"If you're someone that sees hives come and go regularly that aren't necessarily itchy, burning, or stinging, but more of a visual nuisance, they are likely not related to a viral infection," says Lancer.
