RESUMEN

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic upon care of malignant melanoma (MM) remains as yet poorly understood. We undertook a UK-wide national survey, in conjunction with a patient support group (Melanoma UK), to explore patient perceptions of the impact of the pandemic upon treatment and outpatient care of their MM. Our findings suggest that following the onset of COVID-19, a significant minority of treatments and appointments have been delayed, there has been a shift from face-to-face to virtual outpatient consultations and there may be a rise in psychological comorbidities in patients with MM. We would urge clinicians to consider mental health interventions as part of a holistic care package.

RESUMEN

Dermatologists performing surgical procedures face occupational and health hazards when exposed to surgical plume released during electrosurgical and ablative laser procedures. These hazardous fumes have toxic, infectious and carcinogenic effects. Understanding this risk is of particular importance during the COVID-19 pandemic as the understanding of the transmissibility and infectious nature of the virus is still evolving rapidly. In this article, we present the hazards from laser and surgical plumes, and discuss possible preventative measures aimed at reducing these risks.

RESUMEN

Abstract We read with interest the short paper describing, and commend the authors on sharing their experience the continued use of phototherapy in COVID-19 affected Italy. Phototherapy is undoubtedly a long-established, relatively safe means of reducing the burden of inflammatory skin disease avoiding large doses of immunosuppression. Home phototherapy devices and services have a long-established use in many countries throughout the world, as described in previous issues of this journal.
