Background So far, studies have not been performed regarding skin damage owing to protective measures against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by health staff in Iran. Therefore, the present study was performed to assess skin damages owing to protecting measures against COVID-19 among health workers in Hamadan City located in the west of Iran. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 273 health staff working in hospitals affiliated to Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. The inclusion criteria were health personnel working in hospitals involved in the care and treatment of patients with COVID-19 in the city of Hamadan. The authors used a researcher-developed questionnaire to gather data. All the analyses were done using Stata version 14-2. P value less than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results The most common skin signs and symptoms of COVID-19 in health staff were dryness, redness, and itch, representing in 83.78, 53, and 40.99% of hospital staff, respectively. All participants used hand disinfectants, with a frequency in the range of 1–5 times in 29.33% and more than 20 times in 19.79% of them. Using a mask for more than 6 h in daily practice was significantly associated with skin dryness (P=0.007), skin redness (P=0.001), scaling (P=0.019), and skin pain (P=0.005). Conclusion The findings showed that the prevalence of skin damages related to using protective equipment is high, and simple interventions may help preserve health workers to care for patients infected by COVID-19.

Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease that not only severely burdens patients but also their families and society. AD is a chronic inflammatory disease that is usually detected in childhood. Objectives We aim to evaluate the quality of life of parents of children with AD and to crosscheck it with the intensity of the disease. Patients and methods This is a cross-sectional study, where the data of parents of 100 children with AD were collected from the outpatient clinic of the Dermatology, Venereology, and Andrology Department, Assiut University Hospitals, from May 2017 to May 2019. Parents answered the validated Arabic version of the Dermatitis Family Impact (DFI) questionnaire. The disease severity was assessed using the SCORAD index. Results Families of children with severe dermatitis had quite high DFI scores (16.37±3.727) compared with the families of those with dermatitis of moderate intensity (12.10±3.356) and dermatitis of low intensity (8.50±0.707) (P<0.001). It was observed that the impact of dermatitis on families had a positive significant correlation with the degree of intensity of AD (P<0.001, r=0.658). The highest-scoring DFI domains were sleep time, followed by a feeling of tiredness, emotional stability, general life, household work, and expenditure. Conclusion AD directly affects the quality of life of patients’ parents, and the adverse effects on the quality of life are significantly correlated with the disease severity.

Perforating folliculitis is a primary perforating disorder, characterized by the phenomenon of transepidermal elimination. It is associated with various disorders such as psoriasis, juvenile acanthosis nigricans, diabetic mellitus, renal failure, cardiac failure, and malignant neoplasia. Other primary perforating dermatoses are Kyrle’s disease, reactive perforating collagenosis, and elastosis perforans serpiginosa. Among the association of perforating dermatoses with genetic diseases like Down’s syndrome, elastosis perforans serpiginosa and very rarely reactive perforating collagenosis have been reported. We report the first case of an 11-year-old boy who is a known case of Down syndrome presented with perforating folliculitis.
