Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is one of the most common class C infectious diseases, posing a serious threat to public health worldwide. Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) have been regarded as the major pathogenic agents of HFMD; however, since an outbreak caused by coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6) in France in 2008, CV-A6 has gradually become the predominant pathogen in many regions. CV-A6 infects not only children but also adults, and causes atypical clinical symptoms such as a more generalized rash, eczema herpeticum, high fever, and onychomadesis, which are different from the symptoms associated with EV-A71 and CV-A16.

This review article focuses on cutaneous manifestations in schoolchildren and adolescents 6 to 18 years old connected with various aspects of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, including personal protective equipment (PPE), SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. The use of PPE has been associated with mask-related acne due to microbiome dysbiosis and disruption of skin homeostasis, leading to the emergence of new acne or exacerbation of preexisting acne. Chilblain-like lesions, erythema multiforme-like eruptions, and cutaneous manifestations of multisystem inflammatory syndrome related to SARS-CoV-2 are the most commonly described skin manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
