Bengaluru, May 7 : More than two-thirds of people may now have hand dermatitis due to stringent hand washing and using alcohol-based rubs during the Covid-19 pandemic, indicating the emergence of a skin-disease epidemic, according to a study led by Indian researchers.
Researchers at Father Muller Medical College in Mangalore, Karnataka, analysed transepidermal water loss (TEWL) -- an essential parameter for measuring skin barrier function -- from 582 people, including 291 healthcare professionals (HCPs) and 291 healthy individuals from the general population.
