Sažetak
A new coronavirus emerged in 2019 in Wuhan, China named
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome type 2 coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).
Later, this virus spread worldwide, causing a disease called coronavirus
disease (COVID-19). To control the outbreak, many countries announced
mandatory quarantine; thus, people changed their lifestyles and started
engaging in most activities from home. This review explains how some
dermatological pathologies may be precipitated by prolonged stays
at home, considering that quarantine was a widely used public health
measure during 2020. Most of these dermatoses had to be seen, diagnosed,
and treated through tele-dermatology, a remote health care
system that took force during the COVID-19 pandemic because of its
ease and efficiency in connecting health care professionals and their patients;
therefore, reducing the risk of contagion and costs associated to
medical care. This review of the principal dermatologic conditions during
confinement could allow for a better preparation of health professionals.
