Although SARS-CoV-2 is categorized as a respiratory virus, a significant body of 1 literature is emerging regarding the effects of COVID-19 across multiple organ systems, 2 encompassing neurologic, cardiac, renal, gastrointestinal, and dermatologic symptoms. 1 3 Specifically, research on cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 has grown, and as these 4 sequelae are further explored, more highly cited articles will have increasing impact in shaping 5 public discourse and driving future research directions. 2 To better understand the current 6 landscape of this burgeoning literature, we aimed to describe the top 100 most cited articles 7 relating to COVID-19 and dermatology. 8 A query of the scientific indexing database Scopus was performed on January 20, 2022, 9 using the search terms "COVID-19 AND dermatology," "dermatologic," "dermatological," 10 "cutaneous" OR "skin." Articles in the English language focusing on dermatology or 11 incorporating a substantial discussion of dermatology-specific information were included. Article 12 type and theme were determined by two blinded reviewers (KMM and BGM), country of origin 13 was determined by the first author's institutional affiliation, and author gender was determined 14 using online gender application programming interface software. 15

Our query returned 1,818 documents (8,913 total citations) published between December 16 2019 and January 2022. Author demographics and affiliated institutions of the top 100 most cited 17 articles are presented in Table 1 . Women were first author on 43% of articles, and these articles 18 accounted for 57% of all citations. Over half (53%) of the top 100 most cited articles originated 19 from European countries, while over one quarter (27%) came from the United States. Table 2  20 presents article information including journal, type, and common themes.
