Lipschütz's ulcers (LU) are rare entities, which occur mostly in nonsexually active young women. LU appears to be associated with infectious conditions such as Epstein‐Barr virus or cytomegalovirus. We report a case that revealed that SARS‐CoV‐2 infection could be considered a trigger event for the appearance of acute vulvar ulceration.
