Probably not related: Could be related, but most likely not. The typical rash found with covid is in the feet and appears early in the infection. A rash on the face is probably not related to covid but more likely due to hormonal fluctuations, stress, unwashed sheets/towels, or heat/sweat.

Rash: I agree that if your COVID 19 symptoms resolved. this rash is most likely not as a result of COVID 19. Take care

Itchy rash: An itchy rash involving your face is most likely an allergic reaction to something that came in contact with your face. Cosmetics, hair spray, soap, lotions are possibilities. Think of possible triggers. Take antihistamines like benadryl( can cause drowsiness) or claritin( nondrowsy). See a physician or dermatologist as needed.
