Article Synopsis
- The epidermis protects the body and heals injuries through a complex keratinization process that involves the shedding of dead skin cells known as desquamation.
- Keratinocyte differentiation is influenced by several factors including growth factors and changes in vitamin A and calcium levels, which help transform basal cells into fully differentiated corneocytes.
- Skin keratinization disorders can lead to various dermatological diseases, categorized based on specific defects in keratin structure and the regulation of the keratinization process.
Cutaneous manifestations of the COVID-19 pandemic in schoolchildren and adolescents.
Acta Dermatovenerol Alp Pannonica Adriat
December 2023
This review article focuses on cutaneous manifestations in schoolchildren and adolescents 6 to 18 years old connected with various aspects of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, including personal protective equipment (PPE), SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. The use of PPE has been associated with mask-related acne due to microbiome dysbiosis and disruption of skin homeostasis, leading to the emergence of new acne or exacerbation of preexisting acne. Chilblain-like lesions, erythema multiforme-like eruptions, and cutaneous manifestations of multisystem inflammatory syndrome related to SARS-CoV-2 are the most commonly described skin manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
