“…[7][8][9] Many of dermatologic disorders such as psoriasis and alopecia areata have been shown to be triggered or exacerbated by even a mild psychological stress. [10][11][12][13] Perhaps, COVID-19 has been among the most stressful crises the world has confronted to; therefore, it is reasonable that those infected to the virus and those who are concerned about getting infected, experience distressful conditions.…”

The prevalence of hair loss has increased during COVID‐19. In this study, we review the current literature on incidence and characteristics of various types of COVID‐19‐related and COVID‐19‐vaccine‐ related hair loss including telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, friction alopecia and anagen effluvium. Regarding most of them, the more severe the infection, the more profound and prolonged the course of alopecia. However, the most important issue is reassuring the patients of the non‐serious nature of this complication, since psychological support is the most important factor in the earlier resolution of the condition.

“…However, it can lead to several systemic complications including cardiovascular, metabolic, and psychiatric problems. 1 , 2 , 3 Previous studies have shown some ocular manifestations in patients with psoriasis, especially those with arthropathic or pustular variants of the disease. 4 , 5 , 6 …”

Background Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder, mainly involves skin. Aims To evaluate the prevalence of ocular manifestations in Iranian patients with psoriasis, compared to healthy controls. Materials and methods Forty psoriasis patients and 40 age‐ and gender‐matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study and underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic assessment. Results Only meibomian gland dysfunction was significantly more common among patients with psoriasis, compared to control group ( p value: 0.011). Regarding intraocular pressure (IOP), the mean values for both patients and healthy controls were within the normal range and mean IOP in patients was even lower than normal controls, although this difference was significant only for left eye ( p value: 0.049). A strong positive correlation between PASI and tear meniscus height for both right and left eyes ( p value: 0.005, r : 0.44 for OD and p value: 0.003, r : 0.46 for OS.) was noted. Meibomian gland dysfunction was also positively correlated with disease duration for right and left palpebras ( p : 0.04, r : 0.31 for both). Conclusion Psoriasis can lead to meibomian gland dysfunction, especially in patients with long‐lasting disease. Hence, dermatologists and general practitioners should be vigilant in this regard when visiting psoriasis patients, especially those who have higher PASI values or long‐lasting disease.
