“…We believe that tongue swelling may depend solely on SARS-CoV-2 infection, although as a rare manifestation. In this agreement similar cases of tongue edema and protrusion have described in COVID-19 patients not treated with ACEIs or angiotensin receptor blockers, with no hereditary angioedema and not responsive to antihistamines or corticosteroids [ 11 , 12 ].…”

“…However, there have been few cases reported of African American patients hospitalized for COVID-19 developing angioedema of the face, lips, mouth and tongue without urticaria. 24 On SOC patients, the hives may be the same color as the surrounding skin and the erythema that often surrounds urticarial rash may be difficult to appreciate, as iillustrated in Figure 1 . Examining the skin for enlarged follicular openings with increased distance between them is useful in establishing dermal edema.…”

COVID-19 Skin Manifestations in Skin of Colour

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) skin manifestations have been increasingly reported in medical literature. Recent discussions have identified a lack of images of skin of color (SOC) patients with COVID-19 related skin findings despite people with skin of color being disproportionately affected with the disease. There have been calls to prioritize the identification of COVID-19 skin manifestations in patients with SOC and disseminate these findings. The objective of this article is to review the existing literature on COVID-19 skin manifestations and, where possible, discuss how they may present differently in patients with SOC. Further research is needed to allow primary care physicians and dermatologists to be aware of and easily identify patients with cutaneous findings that may be secondary to COVID-19. Patients presenting with idiopathic dermatologic manifestations should be considered for COVID-19 testing and follow public health guidelines for self-isolation.
