Dermatology staff participate in fight against Covid‐19 in China.

Escalation therapy for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis patients, such as topical treatment-narrow UVB-immunosuppressants/acitretin-biological agents for psoriasis patients, needed to be adjusted because it is not convenient to go to the hospital for photo-therapy treatment in the epidemic situation. This is also based on some statements that some biological agents might be effective in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, although it is still in the clinical research stages to prove the therapeutic effect of biological agents in both skin diseases and novel coronavirus pneumonia.
