INTRODUCTION: and importance: The COVID-19 is a global pandemic that is now responsible for more than 3 million deaths around the world. Its cutaneous manifestations in patients are being increasingly reported. This case brings additional data implementing the knowledge on the dermatological signs during COVID-19. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a new pattern with erythema multiforme (EM) lesions in a healthy patient with COVID-19 infection and no other medical background. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: We are facing challenging times in Dermatology. New information and cutaneous manifestations possibly related to COVID‐19 are emerging every day. There are only a few case reports describing EM in patients with COVID-19. CONCLUSION: We suggest that this EM might be another pattern of exanthem associated with COVID‐19 infection. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether these lesions are associated with the virus, the drug intake or any other conditions.
