Journal Article
COVID-19 and the dermatologist: finding calm in the chaos
2020
Overview
Skin lesions following personal hygiene measures and use of personal protection equipment Skin lesions have been reported following frequent hand washing and the use of hand sanitizers. Repeated use of thick emollients and barrier creams has been recommended to mitigate the damage caused by the same. [...]skin problems related to personal protective equipment (PPE) have been reported in health care workers; thought to be caused by the hyper-hydration effect of PPE, friction, epidermal barrier breakdown, and contact reactions. [16] The regional medical councils have also issued directives allowing practice of telemedicine temporarily, but subject to certain stipulations and conditions.However the legalities of tele-medicine are complex and until a comprehensive framework emerges looking into all the nuances; addressing liabilities and continued responsibilities even after the current situation is handled, one may have to tread very carefully. Certain institutes have also made guidelines regarding the deployment of preclinical, paraclinical and non-emergency dealing branches. [...]it may be worthwhile to spend some time on clinical considerations to deliver safe patient care, life support and personal protective equipment (PPE) training in the days ahead, considering the eventuality of being asked to step in.
