This is a follow up on a case of PLEVA 2 weeks after COVID-19 vaccination. The patient in this case did not have any such rash or reaction prior to the vaccine. Following the vaccine, he had a major breakout of PLEVA (acute form)has since had minor episodes of the rash due to the PLC(chronic form). This case is noteworthy is that the patient now has the PLC (chronic form) after suffering the acute form of PLEVA following is COVID-19 vaccination. Further investigation this disease would be helpful to better understand the causes and treatments. While this is an unsightly rash, It should not discourage patients from receiving the COVID-19 vaccination.
