Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS‐C) is a syndrome associated with coronavirus disease 2019. Various phenotypes of MIS‐C have been described including Kawasaki disease (KD). Although perineal desquamation is a known early sign of KD, to our knowledge, this rash has not yet been described in the KD phenotype of MIS‐C. In this article, we report two patients in whom perineal desquamation was an early clue for the KD phenotype of MIS‐C.
