Abstract
Objective: To identify in scientific literature the most prevalent skin changes in health professionals on the frontline of COVID-19. Methods: This was an integrative literature review, with articles published from 2020 to 2022, in Portuguese and in English, with full text available. It was used as a guiding question: What skin changes health professionals who work in patients with COVID-19’s care are presenting in this new reality of work? The bibliographical research was carried out in December 2022, using the databases: Virtual Health Library (BVS), SCIELO, Acervo+ Index Base and PubMed through Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS): Skin, Health Personnel and Pandemics, performing combinations of terms using the Boolean operator “AND”. Results: Totally, 11 articles complied with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, which showed worsening of pre-existing dermatoses, emergence of secondary dermatoses to psychic and occupational stress and skin compulsions. Conclusion: Attention should be paid to skin manifestations in health professionals on the frontline of COVID-19, as these can signal underlying physical and psychological disorders.
