The novel coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2 has been associated with a variety of dermatologic manifestations, often the predominant finding in otherwise asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic patients. Urticarial eruption is one example, but few cases have been reported among pediatric patients. We present a case of acute urticaria in a 6‐month‐old boy preceding other COVID‐19 symptoms. The suspicion of a possible COVID‐19–associated cutaneous manifestation prompted timely testing and diagnosis of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.
