“…10,13,15,49,54,57,80 According to all extracted studies, the prevalence of skin conditions ranged from 16.6% to 53.5%. 10,11,15,25,57,64,80 Several studies described statistically significant higher prevalence of dermatologic conditions among PEH compared to the general population. 11,19,25,41 The prevalence of common skin conditions described among PEH such as acne, 32,37,64 psoriasis, 37,64 seborrheic dermatitis, 32,37 atopic dermatitis, 37,64 lichen simplex chronicus, 64 pruritus, 25 and skin trauma/injuries 15,32,55,64 is reported in Table 1.…”

“…It is reasonable to speculate that, due to their psychiatric morbidities, many of them may not properly understand the magnitude of the current crisis and may not practice disinfection and social distancing even in shelters with a smaller number of occupants. Multiple studies have found that the prevalence of dermatological conditions is significantly higher among shelter home inmates with the most prevalent dermatoses infectious in nature, such as tinea pedis, body louse infestation, scabies, and impetigo [4,5]. There is an ongoing epidemic of treatment-resistant superficial mycoses in India and the process of migration and homelessness may amplify it [6].…”

“…1 Lack of hygiene, increased risk of infection and infestation due to living conditions, and barriers to health care put these individuals at increased risk for disease. 2 Skin disease, including fungal infection and acne, are within the top 10 most prevalent diseases worldwide and can cause major psychologic impairment, yet dermatologic concerns and clinical outcomes in NWH patients have not been well characterized. [2][3][4][5] Further, because this vulnerable demographic tends to be underinsured, they frequently present to the emergency department (ED) for management of disease.…”
