    TLDR COVID-19 can cause skin symptoms that might help spot the virus early, and treatments for it can also affect the skin.
    The review "Dermatological manifestations of COVID-19 and its therapies" emphasizes the importance of recognizing skin-related symptoms in COVID-19 patients, which can occur before or during infection, with or without involvement of other systems. These symptoms could aid in early detection of the virus. The review also discusses the skin-related side effects (cutaneous adverse drug reactions) of COVID-19 treatments. The authors aim to equip clinicians with knowledge about these dermatological manifestations associated with COVID-19 and its therapies.
