Abstract: COVID-19 outbreak was an emerging disease since 2019. Despite respiratory symptoms, cutaneous manifestations related with COVID-19 was increasingly reported worldwide. The prevalence and morphology of skin eruptions in Asia, particularly in Thailand were lacking. Limited data have been reported. This retrospective, observational study was conducted to assess the prevalence and patterns of COVID-associated cutaneous eruptions, hair loss, and exacerbation of preexisting skin diseases among Thai patients. The online survey was developed using Google Form and distributed via social media platforms between November and December 2022. One hundred post-infected participants completed the survey. Our study discovered that within one month after infection, 6% of Thai patients developed cutaneous lesions. Regarding COVID-19 related cutaneous presentations, maculopapular and urticaria were the most common lesions. There was only one case of papulovesicles and petechiae rash. Vesicular, livedo and pseudo-chilblain were not found in any participants. According to the study, COVID-19 associated cutaneous eruptions revealed a lower prevalence than reports from other continents. Maculopapular and urticaria were common clinical patterns among Thais. In contrast, pseudo-chilblain, a condition commonly seen in Europeans, was not observed in our study.
