This is an acrylic painting inspired by the immunohistochemistry stains of the epidermis and dermis of patients with COVID-19 (Fig. 1). COVID-19 comes with a variety of dermatological conditions, including some that are pruritic. The immunohistochemistry stains depicted here stain for transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily A member 1 (TRPA1) and Mas-1-related G-protein coupled receptor, receptors believed to be involved in the transmission of itch.
