Herein, we present a novel cutaneous finding, a dusky red, non-pruritic, non-blanching periorbital dyschromia that we have observed in several patients who have been diagnosed with COVID-19. Some of the cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 that have been described in the literature have ranged from erythematous eruptions involving the trunk, to widespread erythema and chickenpox-like vesicles 1 , to skin rash with petechia 3 , to confluent erythematous-yellowish papules on heels bilaterally which progressed to hard, erythematous plaques 4 . We believe that appearance of periorbital dyschromia may potentially serve as an early cutaneous manifestation of COVID-19 and as a precursor of the systemic symptoms which seem to follow this presentation. ./cache/cord-278710-2fiyzl5u.txt ./txt/cord-278710-2fiyzl5u.txt
