“…Research conducted by Damayanti stated that 82.61% of patient with contact dermatitis during the COVID-19 pandemic used antiseptic soap, while the rest used non-antiseptic soap. 15 Incorrect use of soap, such as not using moisturizer after handwash, can also cause contact dermatitis in patients. A 2017 study in North America stated that the most common cleanser that causes ACD and ICD is skin soap, such as liquid, lotion, and bars.…”

Background: Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory skin response that can be caused by several things. This inflammatory reaction is most often caused by external compounds that become allergens or irritants to the body. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical profile of contact dermatitis patients at the allergy-immunology division of dermatology and venereology outpatient clinic of Dr. Soetomo general academic hospital. Methods: The sampling technique used in this study is a total sampling technique and was processed with Excel descriptively. Result: The most frequent age group diagnosed with contact dermatitis was the 20–45-year-old age group (45.5%). The most frequent gender was female (72.2%). The most frequent occupation was private employee (30.8%). The most frequent suspected causal factor was cosmetics (35.2%). Itching was the most common type of patient complaint (44.1%). Face was the most frequent location (30.8%). Erythematous macules were the most frequent clinical manifestation (45.9%). The diagnosis of contact dermatitis was divided into allergic contact dermatitis ACD (60.4%) and irritant contact dermatitis ICD (39.6%). The most frequent topical therapy was corticosteroid (53.2%). Meanwhile, the most systemic therapy is antihistamine (73.8%). Conclusion: ACD is more prevalent than ICD and is more prevalent in women between the ages of 20 and 45. The most prevalent occupation distribution is among private employees. Cosmetics are the most frequently suspected cause factor. Itch is the most common patient complaint. The face is where contact dermatitis occurs most frequently. Erythematous macules are the most frequent clinical symptom. Corticosteroids and antihistamines are the most commonly given medication.

“…Occlusive, humectant, and emollient are the types of moisturizers to prevent OCD. The moisturizers must be immediately applied after washing hands and before wearing gloves (Damayanti et al, 2021;Rundle et al, 2020).…”

“…Healthcare workers in the COVID-19 isolation ward were required to follow the infection prevention procedures such as hand hygiene, use of surgical mask or N95 mask, goggles, face shield, coverall gown, safety shoes, and shoe covers. Hand hygiene can be performed in one of two ways: by washing hands with soap and water or by using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol (Damayanti et al, 2021;Lan et al, 2020). A survey in China reported that 97.0% (526 of 542) of first-line healthcare workers had skin damage as a result of the infection prevention procedures, with the nasal bridge being the most affected site (83.1%), followed by cheeks (78.7%), hands (74.5%), and forehead (57.2%) (Damayanti et al, 2021).…”

Occupational skin disease due to intensified infection prevention procedures among healthcare workers has been reported since the outbreak of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). This study was to determine the cause of Occupational Contact Dermatitis (OCD) among healthcare workers in the COVID-19 isolation ward using a skin patch test to prevent the recurrence of the disease. The allergens for the patch test included thiuram-mix 1%, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole 2%, and tetramethyl thiuram disulfide 1% which were contained in gloves, cobalt chloride 1%, and colophony 20% which were contained in adhesives, as well as irigasan 2% and lanolin 100% which were contained in hand hygiene products. Thirty healthcare workers who were diagnosed with OCD were included and underwent patch tests. The participants were dominated by females (90%) and nurses (66.67%). Six participants got weak positive (+) results from thiuram-mix 1%. Meanwhile 1 weak positive (+), 6 strong positive (++) and 1 extreme positive (+++) were found in lanolin 100% patch test. There was clinical relevance to these results. The infection prevention measures among healthcare workers in the COVID-19 isolation ward increased the risk of OCD, including the use of PPE and hand hygiene products.

Background: Xerosis cutis presents in more than 50% of the elderly population and is currently the most common complaint related to a skin condition in the elderly population. However, many of them are still uninformed of this complaint. Education plays an important role in the management of xerosis cutis, such as how to identify and avoid triggering factors and how to break the itch-scratch cycle. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the level of knowledge on xerosis cutis in the elderly population after receiving health education. Methods: This observational study involved 71 subjects who met the inclusion criteria of being elderly and were willing to participate in this study. The data were collected using questionnaires. The level of knowledge was assessed before and after the health education around xerosis cutis. Result: Eleven (15.49%) male and 60 (84.51%) female subjects participated in this study. There was a significant difference mean scores between the pre-test and post-test after health education (p= <0.001). The means of total scores of the pre-test and post-test were 11.72 ± 1.475 and 12.58 ± 1.662. The questionnaire consisted of chapters regarding skin changes in the elderly, risk factors for xerosis cutis, and management of xerosis cutis. A significant difference in score between the pre-test and post-test was found in all the chapters (p=0.046, p=0.002, and p=0.006). Conclusion: Following health education, there was an improvement in the elderly's level of knowledge on xerosis cutis.
