A review of the literature on flood-related skin diseases

AbstractFlooding is one of the most frequent natural catastrophes, affecting people all over the globe. The catastrophes' consequences have become huge issues for the public health system as a whole. Skin disorders caused by flooding are one of these effects, with cutaneous symptoms and/or indicators of systemic illnesses. A comprehensive literature evaluation of research articles on floods and skin disorders was performed. The goal of this study was to offer dermatologists and general practitioners with a thorough overview of flood-related skin disorders and treatment options. Furthermore, we divided these flood-related illnesses into four categories: skin conditions illnesses, skin infections, traumatic skin conditions, and other odds and ends skin diseases, in order to implement early interventions as well as educate, prevent, but also effectively treat those skin diseases in just such a catastrophic situation, resulting in better therapeutic efficacy as well as the preventative measures of further complications.
