COVID-19 skin manifestations can vary greatly from serious and painful lesions to uncomfortable rashes, but treatments so far have been lacking and warrant consensus protocols to ensure best targeted approaches are taken, concludes a Dermatology review.
Writing in
Clinics in Dermatology, a team of dermatologists from Italy conducted a review on English-language literature published throughout 2020 on the types of therapies that had been used thus far to relieve discomfort and accelerate skin healing in COVID-19 patients. Literature analysis was then amplified with data from an observational retrospective study performed on patients at the Dermatology Unit of the Alessandro Manzoni Hospital in Lecco, Italy.
