Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) [1]. The systemic manifestations of COVID-19 comprise respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological and endocrine symptoms, cardiovascular and hematological manifestations, and septic shock [2]. This disease has been associated with numerous cutaneous manifestations [3], ranging from vesicular and chilblain-like lesions to urticaria and maculopapular eruptions. Recent case reports have documented cutaneous lesions attributable to varicella zoster virus (VZV) in patients with COVID-19, or shortly after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination [4].
