Water‐related dermatoses are a spectrum of diseases that are associated with water exposure. They result either from the direct influence of water or after injury from water inhabitants. In this review, clinical entities that manifest after water exposure (aquagenic pruritus, aquagenic urticaria, and aquagenic wrinkling of the palms) will be discussed with particular focus on the reported pathogenesis. Aquatic organisms and activities can be linked to cutaneous injuries that require identification and distinct management. Marine and freshwater dermatoses were summarized to provide physicians with easy access to the causative organism, method of injury, and appropriate management.

We read with interest the recent report titled "New onset of alopecia areata in a patient with SARS-COV-2 infection: Possible pathogenetic correlations?" by Rossi et al. 1 The authors report on a 29-year-old woman who developed alopecia areata-total is one month after recovering from SARS-Cov-2 infection and ponder the underlying mechanistic pathways. 1 Similar additional cases of AA developing in association with COVID-19 infection have been reported and one study demonstrated an increase in the percentage of patients with AA from 0.0097% to 0.0148% between May 2019 and May 2020. 1,2 Given this unfolding association, we here intend to highlight a possible role that the plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs)
