Sumario:We describe the cases of two immunocompetent children who developed mucositis with oral, ocular, and genital involvement during acute COVID‐19 illness. The pattern of mucosal involvement with no other cutaneous involvement was consistent with reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME). No other intercurrent infections or new medications were identified, suggesting that COVID‐19 was causative. Both patients noted improvement with systemic corticosteroid therapy.
