Summary

This study looked at how the COVID-19 pandemic affected skin and allergy problems in healthcare workers. Researchers reviewed records from 341 health workers who visited skin clinics between 2017 and 2023.

The goal is to better understand these problems and improve prevention and care for health workers.
