AbstractDuring the COVID‐19 pandemic, chilblain‐like lesions have been reported in mildly symptomatic children and adolescents. We present four children investigated for suspected COVID‐19 infection who presented with acral skin findings and mild systemic symptoms. Histology from one case showed signs of vasculitis with evident fibrin thrombus.
