Malaria is a life-threatening parasitic disease caused by various forms of the protozoa Plasmodium and is transmitted by the female Anopheles mosquito. The parasitic infection is endemic in 90 countries, with approximately 500 million cases reported annually and an estimated annual mortality of 1.5-2.7 million individuals. Historically, the use of antimalarial drugs has been promising for the chemoprophylaxis and treatment of malaria, mitigating the annual mortality rate. Notably, these antimalarial drugs have been associated with various adverse effects, including gastrointestinal upset and headaches. However, the adverse cutaneous manifestations these antimalarial drugs may lead to are poorly documented and understood. We aim to describe the lesser-studied adverse cutaneous pathologies of malaria treatment to better educate physicians on the proper treatment of their patients.Our narrative review describes the skin manifestations associated with specific antimalarial treatments and their associated prognoses and treatments. The cutaneous pathologies discussed include aquagenic pruritus (AP), palmoplantar exfoliation, Steven-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, cutaneous vasculitis, psoriasis, ecchymosis, and tropical lichenoid dermatitis. Further studies and vigilant documentation of the cutaneous adverse events of antimalarial drugs need to be performed and emphasized to prevent potential life-threatening adverse outcomes.

Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is an autoimmune condition commonly manifested as cutaneous lesions, such as well-demarcated, erythematous, scaly plaques, notably on the extensor surfaces but sometimes present on the scalp, palms, and soles. Various triggering events are known to initiate flare-ups of previously wellcontrolled/dormant EP. In recent literature, the association of acutely exacerbated EP after symptomatic infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been well-described. Here, we present a case of EP with increased flaking and desquamation of the skin of the whole body (most notably on the palms and soles) after three weeks of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection without any other evident trigger. We aim to describe the symptoms as well as the proper management of a patient afflicted with erythrodermic psoriasis in hopes of aiding future clinicians in the prompt diagnosis and treatment of such a patient.
