Summary

This study examined how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted skin allergy visits among healthcare workers. Researchers analyzed records from 341 healthcare workers who visited skin clinics before and after the pandemic. The goal was to understand if increased use of masks, gloves, and sanitizers led to more skin problems like rashes and hives.
