Abstract
To the Editor: There have been an increasing number of reports of occupationally induced skin conditions in health care workers related to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.1,2 The breadth and variety of different types of PPE, such as facemasks, gloves, and respiratory equipment, as well as the extended use beyond previous standards, have led to a spectrum of common dermatologic conditions, including contact/irritant dermatitis, pressure-related skin injury, acneiform eruptions, and moisture-associated skin irritation (Table I).
