The impact of disrupted healthcare infrastructure, medication shortages, and the psychological stress of war on skin disease will be highlighted. Strategies such as mobile clinics, and clinics in schools to support patients under these extreme conditions, emphasizing the need for sustainable, collaborative efforts to ensure consistent infectious skin disease management in crisis settings will be discussed. Treatment and prevention of the most commonly seen skin manifestation in displaced people will be addressed.
