Introduction:
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have been gaining worldwide popularity for several years now, making vaping a major alternative to regular tobacco smoking.

Aim:
There is still a lack of data on the occurrence of dermatological diseases due to e-cigarettes, so the research was performed.

Methods:
A systematic review of the literature was performed in Embase and Medline databases. The search included EMTREE and MESH approaches and was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines.

Results:
Electronic cigarettes were identified both as an initiating and aggravating factor in several dermatological diseases. Vaping resulted in impaired wound healing and thermal injuries in the healthy skin.

Conclusions:
Electronic cigarettes have been reported to contribute to the development of various skin diseases and be a source of thermal injury. Lack of data and poor compliance concerning reporting the side effects of vaping make this topic an important issue to monitor.
