Seborrheic dermatitis and anti‐COVID‐19 masks

Seborrheic dermatitis and anti‐COVID‐19 masks

„In Milan, Italy, after the end of the lockdown period (March and April 2020), we observed several patients with seborrheic dermatitis (SD) who showed a more or less important worsening of their disease. In a group of 43 patients with SD who had been visited from December 2019 to February 2020, a worsening in 20 of them (46.5%) was seen. They were 15 males (75%) and 5 females (25%), with an age ranging from 23 to 48 years (mean age: 36.7 years). All patients used anti‐coronavirus‐19 (COVID‐19) face mask for 6‐10 hours per day; 7 out of 20 patients (35%) were physicians, obstetricians, or nurses. According to the clinical point of view, the worsening was characterized by increased erythema and desquamation (Figures 1 and 2). Fourteen out of 20 patients (70%) stated that also itching worsened.“
