Background:
The long-term impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on inflammatory dermatoses remains incompletely defined.
Objectives:
To evaluate the association between COVID-19 infection and a broad range of inflammatory dermatoses.
Methods:
In this cohort study, electronic health-record data were analysed for 204 241 patients seen at a tertiary medical centre between March 2020 and May 2023, including 22 368 with confirmed COVID-19 and 181 873 controls with negative testing. Diagnoses of 16 inflammatory dermatoses were extracted from standardized documentation fields and verified diagnostic codes.
Results:
Elevated risks were observed for atopic dermatitis [incidence rate ratio (IRR) 1.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.25-1.46; P < 0.001], acne vulgaris (IRR 1.53, 95% CI 1.17-1.98; P = 0.002), rosacea (IRR 2.41, 95% CI 1.53-3.66; P < 0.001), alopecia areata (IRR 2.39, 95% CI 1.44-3.80; P < 0.001) and seborrhoeic dermatitis (IRR 1.74; 95% CI 1.29-2.30; P < 0.001). No significant associations were observed for psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, lupus erythematosus, pemphigus or bullous pemphigoid.
Conclusions:
COVID-19 infection emerged as a novel risk factor for several inflammatory dermatoses.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
