Recently, several cutaneous manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been reported. However, there is a paucity of published images. Those that have been published so far tend to fall under distinct morphologic categories. We present a 52-year-old patient with an ill-defined skin eruption that preceded mild gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and without respiratory symptoms who tested positive for COVID-19. With this case report, we widen the spectrum of the cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 infection. Consequently, we propose an expansion of the criteria for COVID-19 testing when skin findings are associated with relatively mild GI symptoms.
