COVID-19 is now an established morbidity across races, regions and clinical risks around the world. From its first detection in Wuhan city-China in 2019 to the recent breakthrough of approved vaccines, that are determinants and deterrents and gradually becoming apparent. The phenotype of its presentation however is both variable and challenging especially. For those presenting with unique skin dermatosis such as erythema multiforme. Case report Our case is on a 36 year- old gentleman who presented to the hospital complaining, initially of only urticarial rash (later established to be erythema multiform), which improved with symptomatic treatment. He was discharged, only to be re-admitted a week later with exacerbation of the former cutaneous manifestation, accompanied by fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. He ultimately made complete recovery and was discharged home.
