Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), as a pandemic disease and a global concern, is a respiratory tract infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Besides its common symptoms, some other less common symptoms, including genital ulcers, have been reported. Other complications such as autoimmune disease can present with genital ulcers. Differential diagnosis includes Reiter syndrome, Behcet’s disease, and psoriasis. We report a 32-year-old married man with genital ulcers due to COVID-19 infection and as a complication of his disease.
