“…Teledermatology is the evaluation of patient images and clinical information via electronic transfer without face‐to‐face interviews. It is recommended to use teledermatology in dermatology practices during the COVID‐19 pandemic 7 . Use of face‐to‐face interviews for each patient instead of teledermatology increases the risk of infection for both patients and physicians.…”

It has been reported that dermatology practices may be a vector for SARS-CoV-2 transmission and elective cases should be postponed during the pandemic period. In this context, studies on the change of patient profile in Dermatology outpatient clinic have been conducted. However, there was no study in the literature about dermatology consultations during the pandemic period. One hundred and fortyseven dermatology consultation cases in the era of COVID-19 pandemic between March 11, 2020 and May 4, 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. Twenty-four patients (16.3%) had suspicion and signs of COVID during consultation (fever, cough, shortness of breath, etc.). Nine (37.5%) of these patients also had accompanying COVID-19 skin lesions (two urticarial lesions, two livedo and necrosis, two maculopapular eruption, two vesicular rashes, one pseudo-chilblain). The number of cases that were suspected to have COVID-19 was statistically significantly higher in consultations requested by the emergency department and intensive care unit, while there were no suspected cases in outpatient clinic consultations (P = .001). Two (1.4%) of these patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 confirmed by PCR within 2 weeks. We acknowledge that daily practice changes frequently during this period, but still our study provides a perspective to other dermatology clinics in terms of the requested dermatology consultations during the pandemic.

“…15 There are a number of clinical conditions in which telemedicine has been used or suggested during the COVID-19 pandemic. These include the elderly population, 16 dermatology, 17 orthopedics, 18 urological cancer, 19 emergency colon and rectal cancer patients, 20 primary care, 21,22 telepsychiatry, 23,24 podiatry, 25 global emergencies, 26 and management of migrains. 27 Others have advocated for telemedicine as a platform of protection of staff, as well as a way to reduce the burnout rate of health care providers, as it has become clear that telemedicine and telehealth not only benefit the patients, but can also be used as a model of health care protection in a highly infected and stressed environment.…”

The new world order caused by COVID-19 virus, associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome, multiple organ failure, and very high mortality, has brought about many changes to our world. Suddenly, the medical community, and those who finance the health care sector, realized that telemedicine and telepresence are applicable, desirable, acceptable, and much sought after by our patients and we can manage just about every disease and condition. Although, by and large, telemedicine has faced challenges and perhaps some resistance, despite its great potential, it has become evident that telemedicine can provide rapid, safe, and high-quality care remotely during this pandemic, the largest one since 1918. Perhaps one benefit of suffering through the COVID-19 pandemic will be the establishment of a new virtual medical world order, and that telemedicine has taken its deserving place in health care: prime time and a center stage.

“…It is also essential to continue evaluating possible skin manifestations of the virus, especially in children, in order to identify those who could be pauci‐symptomatic subjects, and have the potential to infect others. For the aforementioned reasons, it is necessary to increase teledermatology and teleconsulting services, 12 for both patients and pediatricians, and reserve hospital access only to those who really need it.…”

Two months have passed since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the pandemic of the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, on 11 March 2020. Medical and healthcare workers have continued to be on the frontline to defeat this disease, however, continual changes are being made to their working habits which are proving to be difficult. Although the skin is not the main target of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is strongly involved both directly and indirectly, in many aspects of dermatological disease management, and particularly in
