Paolo Emilio Santoro et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, prolonged usage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) among healthcare workers led to an increase in dermatological reactions, especially among females and nurses or midwives. This study contributes to the assessment of the issue and aims to develop better prevention strategies to improve the well-being of healthcare workers and reduce the impact of dermatological adverse reactions to PPEs.

Irritant contact dermatitis in healthcare workers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study

L. F. Kiely et al.

Summary: A study in an Irish hospital found that a significant number of COVID-19 healthcare workers experienced irritant contact dermatitis, with dry skin being a common symptom. The group with ICD had a higher percentage of individuals with a history of dermatitis and longer average PPE usage time compared to the non-ICD group. Promoting awareness of COVID-19-related ICD is crucial for prevention and treatment among frontline staff.

What Is New in Occupational Allergic Contact Dermatitis in the Year of the COVID Pandemic?

Erica B. Lee et al.

Summary: Recent trends in occupational allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) include healthcare workers experiencing dermatitis related to personal protective equipment, hazards of working from home, and updates on American Contact Dermatitis Society (ACDS) allergens. Common allergens for healthcare workers include isobornyl acrylate in glucose sensors, propylene glycol in hand cleansers, lavender, limonene, and linalool as new additions to the ACDS Core Allergen Series, and an increase in isothiazolinone allergy. COVID-19 has also led to a rise in occupational ACD and identifies new potential allergens for remote workers. Keeping up with current allergen trends can aid in early recognition, diagnosis, and treatment for a healthier and safer work environment.
