The most common cutaneous findings were xerosis (76.9%), skin infections (73.1%), nail changes (71.2), hair changes (51.9%), primary dermatoses (46.2%), and pruritus (42.3%). Skin infections were observed in 76 patients (73.1%), with fungal infections being the most frequent, including tinea pedis (58.7%),tinea unguium (50%). Patients with fungal infections had lower FAS scores (2.26\u00b11.68 vs. 2.97\u00b11.64;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.042) and shorter stroke duration (median 11vs.36 months;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.034).
