Abstract
Monkeypox is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection, which is mainly manifested as characteristic rashes. It spreads mainly through direct skin-to-skin contact. In some cases, respiratory transmission occurs through contact with respiratory droplets when in close contact with an infected person for a long time. The monkeypox outbreak in 2022 frequently occurred in the MSM (men who have sex with men) population, raising concerns about whether monkeypox could be transmitted through sexual behavior. This article mainly reviews the research progress of skin manifestations of monkeypox, including typical and atypical rashes of monkeypox, and different skin manifestations in some special groups, such as children, pregnant women and individuals co-infected with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and MPXV. At present, dermatologists are not very familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of monkeypox, it is therefore necessary to review the skin manifestations of monkeypox, which can help clinicians diagnose the sporadic cases and monitor the occurrence of monkeypox early, particularly in people at higher risk of infection. Early clinical diagnosis and treatment can largely avoid serious complications and death from monkeypox.
