Department of Dermatology, University of Siena, Siena, ItalyCOVID-19 is a continuous worldwide pandemic brought aboutby the "Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2" (SARS-CoV-2), which was confined without precedent for Wuhan(China) in December 2019. Normal side effects incorporatefever, dry cough, headache, dyspnea and hypogeusia/hyposmia.Among extrapulmonary signs related with COVID-19,dermatological appearances have been progressively revealed overthe most recent couple of months.

This contribution focuses on the effects of coronavirus disease2019 (COVID-19) on dermatology practice. We discuss theimpact on practice volume and procedures and on theconsiderable increase in teledermatology use.

During thecrisis, dermatologists have faced the challenge of a shortage ofresources, such as personal protective equipment, in the healthcare system. In addition, they have been involved in managingcutaneous manifestations related to COVID-19 andoccupational disease caused by personal protective equipment.Dermatologists have made a diligent effort toidentify melanoma and to ensure the treatment of high-risk skincancers.
