Hair Loss and Androgen's Role in the Era of COVID-19

The new coronavirus (SARS-COV2), which causes coronavirus illness, has expanded globally, impacting millions of individuals. In comparison to female patients, males have a higher prevalence, morbidity, and death rate from this condition, according to international statistics. Androgens have been implicated in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. This review's objective is to explain the potential connection between the pathophysiology of androgen and the infectivity mechanism of the coronavirus as well as the association between SARS-COV2 and hair disorders. This might assist in clarifying androgen's involvement in COVID-19 prognosis and therapy.

Hand Sanitizers Containing Alcohol and their Effects on the Skin during the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 is a contagious disease with a high case fatality and morbidity rate associated with a pandemic outbreak. Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection can take place via airborne transmission, droplet, or direct contact. Implementing effective preventive measures remains the most important option available for dealing with SARS-CoV-2. The effectiveness of surface disinfectants, sanitizers, and personal protective equipment is totally based on three factors-strength, composition, and material-to determine whether or not preventive measures will be effective. Coronavirus transmission is disrupted by the use of an alcohol-based sanitizer containing 62% to 95% alcohol, which can denature viral proteins. However, hand sanitizers and disinfectants used on a regular daily basis may harm the skin's surface. In this study, we cover the importance of selecting the right disinfectant, the proper method of hand sanitization, and how to minimize the harmful effects on the skin while enhancing the inhibitory activity that could be a viable prescription for fighting COVID-19.
