Abstract
- Many areas of life including patterns of dermatological diseases that patient attend to the hospital were tremendously affected by implementing stay‐at‐home orders during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We aimed to identify the dermatologic interest of the public during the COVID‐19 pandemic by using Google Trends. The terms “acne”, “hair loss”, “eczema”, “genital warts”, “molluscum contagiosum”, “botox”, “skin cancer”, “sunscreen” were analyzed on first April, first May, first June 2020, and the corresponding period of the previous year in Turkey and Italy by using Google Trends. The searching spectrum was between 3first March 2019‐first June 2020. The relative change of search term “acne” was +10, +29, +13/ ‐1, +17,+33, “hair loss” was +14, +40, +16/+3, +16, +15, and “eczema” was +2, +34, −4/ +3, +25, +18, on the other hand, the relative change of the “genital warts” was −15, −48, +10/ ‐44, −30, +18 and “molluscum contagiosum” was −12, −2, −4/ ‐4, −1, −12 while “botox” was, −10, −43, −8/ ‐41, −31, +4, “skin cancer” was −27, −38, −38/−22,+33, −7 and sunscreen was −6, −25, −71/−13,0,‐45 in Turkey/Italy on 1 st April, 1 st May, and 1 st June, 2020, respectively.
