Introduction
Since the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, various dermatological
manifestations have been demonstrated both following the de novo
infection and the associated vaccination(1-4). These cutaneous adverse
events have been either a new-onset dermatologic disorder, or
exacerbation of the pre-existing one(5, 6). The new-onset or flare-up of
psoriasis, lichen planus, eczematous dermatitis, and many other
dermatoses have been reported following COVID-19(7-11). On the other
hand, dermatologic complications have also been abundantly observed
after being vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2(12, 13). However, SARS-CoV-2
related morphea has been reported only in few articles. Moreover, to our
knowledge, morphea has not yet been demonstrated after COVID-19
vaccination and our case seems to be the first one.
Here, we present two cases of new-onset morphea arising after SARS-CoV-2
infection and vaccination.
