  • The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed medical practice worldwide. It posed a significant impact on different health services, including dermatology. A Cross-sectional observational study of 200 healthcare providers and 100 dermatologists (survey 1 and 2, respectively) were conducted to determine the prevalence of occupational skin diseases among healthcare providers working amid the pandemic, and to demonstrate the outbreak\'s impact on dermatology practice. Most healthcare providers (83%) reported hygiene-related hand dermatitis. The rates of PPE- related dermatoses were estimated to be 73%, including pressure injuries (51.9%), acne (33.1%), non-gloves contact dermatitis (29.9%), nonspecific eruption (17.5%), urticaria (9.1%) and skin infections (3.2%). The emerging COVID-19-related cutaneous manifestations were recognized by 20% of surveyed dermatologists, including maculopapular eruption (41.67%), urticaria (37.50%), chilblain (25%) and vasculitis (16.67). Telemedicine was provided by 73% of the dermatologists, and 89% reported minimal use of immunosuppressive drugs amid the pandemic.
