When comparing RNA viral infections to COVID-19 cases, we observed similarities in reported skin manifestations and their presumed pathways, with many implicated in the pro-inflammatory response. Due to the wide range of cutaneous symptoms associated with RNA viruses and our current limited understanding of their underlying mechanisms, additional research is warranted to investigate the pathology behind viral-induced skin lesions.
