In many patients, a corona infection is also accompanied by a skin disease. Doctors have now discovered five different types.
For the study, 375 positively tested people were examined over a period of two weeks, who also worked on skin rashes in addition to their corona disease. The researchers also photographed the appearance of various skin diseases.
These are:
