Disease-related skin lesions have been reported in 8% to 20% of COVID-19 patients. In the literature, cutaneous symptoms associated with the disease are generally emphasized. However, there are very few studies on the effect of this new SARS-CoV-2 virus entering our lives on dermatological diseases, and none of them have used the dermatological quality of life index (DLQI). In our study, we aimed to evaluate the difficulties faced by the patients who applied to the dermatology outpatient clinic during the pandemic period and the course of their diseases with the dermatological quality of life index. The study was carried out prospectively by including dermatology patients who will apply to the outpatient clinic in June-July 2020. 282 patients were evaluated in the study. DLQI was significantly lower in the group using regular emollients (P < .001). When DLQI was compared between disease groups, it was found to be significantly different (P: .017). DLQI was found to worsen significantly compared to prepandemic studies. It was found that using moisturizer in this period helps to maintain the dermatological quality of life.

“… 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) including facial masks, face shields/visors, goggles, gloves, gowns, and air-purifying respirators is pivotal to reducing the risk to which healthcare workers (HCWs) are exposed during the outbreak of this highly transmissible disease. 13 , 14 , 15 HCWs are facing the shortage in PPE which is becoming an increasing international concern due to the single-use nature of PPE. 16 , 17 , 18 Because PPE is heat-sensitive, conventional sterilization techniques employed in hospitals cannot effectively reprocess it.…”

The availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) among dermatologists in COVID-19 pandemic has not previously been studied. We have assessed PPE availability among dermatologists and relevant aspects of hospital service by surveying 733 dermatologists. Considerable percentages of responders had to purchase own PPE and were not provided with it at the hospital (40.2% and 37.7%, respectively). Only 27% of responders provided hospital service, and 18.4% were allotted a non-dermatologic duty. A substantial percentage (64.4%) indicated the availability of hospital issued management guidelines (HIMG) for COVID-19 patients. Almost half of the participants (49.1%) responded that the healthcare system was not equipped for the pandemic. Purchasing one's own PPE was strongly associated with private practice setting and continent (highest rates in Central/South America and Europe) (P<.001). PPE availability at a hospital was associated with two continents (highest rates in Europe and North America) (P <.001). In logistic regression, the most important factor reducing the odds ratio (OR) for purchasing own PPE was HIMG for COVID-19 patients (OR, 0.55 [95% CI, 0.32-0.97]). Responder's assessment that healthcare system was equipped for COVID-19 was the most powerful increaser of OR for PPE availability (OR, 9.43 [95% CI, 5.37-16.56]) followed by >1,000 COVID-19 cases in the participant's country. In conclusion, substantial percentages of responders had to purchase their own PPE and were not provided with it at the hospital. Strategies to increase PPE availability should be implemented by hospitals, industry, and government authorities.
