ABC News | Mask rules leads to rise in skin conditions
Source:
Skin specialists have reported an increase in people seeking treatment for skin conditions as a result of mandatory mask wearing in Australia due to COVID-19.
Dubbed ‘maskne’, the condition includes acne, rosacea flare ups, perioral dermatitis, and folliculitis, all of which are aggravated by substances such as oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells becoming trapped under the mask.
