Objective: COVID-19 disease caused panic, fear of death, anxiety in people at the beginning of pandemic. This situation has dramatically changed people's lifestyle and daily behavior. The aim of our study was to determine the effects of changing lifestyle and daily behaviours on dermatological diseases in the first months of outbreak. Material and Methods: The diagnosis of the first patient with COVID- 19 in Turkey was established on 11 March 2020.In the same period, between 11 March and 30 April of 2020 and 2019, 454 versus 2.903 patients were admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic and included in the study. The rates of dermatological diseases were compared. Pearson's chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results: Most of the patients were women (59.2 and 64.8%), and the average ages of the patients were 36.6±17.5 and 35.1±18.2 years for these time periods. Although admission to the hospital for those under 20 years of age due to curfew was decreased (16.8-10.1%), acne frequency increased (18.6- 21.1%, p=0.198). The frequency of psoriasis among papulosquamous diseases significantly increased (p=0.016). Urticaria (4.33-9.47%, p<0.001), drug eruptions (0.17-1.32%, p<0.001), and dermatitis and eczema (25.52-30.44%, p=0.025) significantly increased. The frequency of alopecia areata among hair disorders significantly increased (p=0.005). Rosacea (1.59-0.44%, p=0.05), bacterial infections (1.45- 0.44%, p=0.046), fungal infections (5.29-3.3%,p=0.042) and xerosis cutis (6.26-1.1%, p=0.025) significantly decreased. Admissions due to benign skin diseases (1.38-0%, p=0.012) significantly decreased. Conclusion: We consider that this study will contribute to providing the needed-evidence for the prevention and treatment of dermatological comorbidities by helping to identify the effects of changing lifestyles and daily behaviours on dermatological diseases because of the novel experimental environment created by the COVID‐19 outbreak.

Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)], pandeminin başlangıcında insanlarda paniğe, ölüm korkusuna, kaygıya neden oldu. Bu durum, insanların yaşam tarzlarını ve günlük davranışlarını önemli ölçüde değiştirmiştir. Çalışmamızın amacı, salgının ilk aylarında değişen yaşam tarzı ve günlük davranışların dermatolojik hastalıklar üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Türkiye'de ilk COVID-19 hastasının tanısı, 11 Mart 2020 tarihinde konulmuştur. 2019 ve 2020 yıllarında 11 Mart-30 Nisan tarihleri arasında dermatoloji polikliniğine başvurmuş 2.903 ve 454 hasta çalışmamıza dâhil edildi. Dermatolojik hastalıkların oranları karşılaştırıldı. İstatistiksel analiz için Pearson ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların çoğu kadın (%59,2 ve %64,8) olup; hastaların yaş ortalaması 36,6±17,5 ve 35,1±18,2 yıldı. Sokağa çıkma yasağı nedeniyle 20 yaş altı hastaların hastaneye başvuruları azalmasına (%16,8-%10,1) rağmen akne sıklığı arttı (%18,6-%21,1, p=0,198). Papüloskuamöz hastalıklar arasında psöriyazis sıklığı anlamlı olarak arttı (p=0,016). Ürtiker (%4,33-%9,47, p<0,001), ilaç döküntüleri (%0,17- %1,32, p<0,001) ile dermatit ve ekzema (%25,52-%30,44, p=0,025) anlamlı olarak arttı. Saç hastalıkları arasında alopesi areata sıklığı anlamlı olarak arttı (p=0,005). Rozasea (%1,59-%0,44, p=0,05), bakteriyel enfeksiyonlar (%1,45-%0,44, p=0,046), mantar enfeksiyonları (%5,29-%3,3, p=0,042) ve kserozis kutis (%6,26-%1,1, p=0,025) önemli ölçüde azaldı. İyi huylu cilt hastalıkları nedeniyle başvurular anlamlı olarak azaldı (%1,38-%0,0, p=0,012). Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın, COVID-19 salgınının yarattığı yeni deneysel ortam nedeniyle değişen yaşam tarzı ve günlük davranışların, dermatolojik hastalıklar üzerindeki etkilerinin belirlenmesine yardımcı olarak dermatolojik komorbiditelerin önlenmesi ve tedavisi için gerekli kanıtların sağlanmasına katkıda bulunacağını düşünüyoruz.
