Generally, “Mask-NE” is an umbrella term for several skin conditions that can stem from wearing a face mask or covering.

It can include:

• Acne. Acne happens when your pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and dirt. It can cause pimples, whiteheads, or blackheads. It is more likely if you have a history of acne, it but can affect anyone. It seems to be the most common in people using surgical masks and some types of respirators.
• Rosacea. If you have rosacea, wearing a mask may cause flare-ups. This can lead to pimples and redness.
• Irritant contact dermatitis. Contact dermatitis occurs when you’re allergic or sensitive to the material of your mask. It can result in a red rash, along with irritation and blisters. It is the most common type of mask reaction and often affects the cheeks and the bridge over the nose. People who use a mask for 6 hoursTrusted Source or more without a break and those with a compromised skin barrier are more at risk. Symptoms range from dry, scaly patches to skin ulceration.
• Atopic eczema. Also called atopic dermatitis, skin symptoms can appear or worsen in people whose skin is sensitive due to eczema, because of the irritant effect of wearing a mask.
• Periofacial dermatitis. This is a condition where small pimples develop around the eyes and mouth. It can happen while wearing a mask after using cosmetics or corticosteroid creams or for no apparent reason.
• Folliculitis. Folliculitis, or an infection of your hair follicles, causes bumps that look like an acne breakout. You might also experience itchiness or pain.
• Urticaria. Wheals, or hives, can result from the downward pressure of some types of masks or from contact with allergens, such as latex, in those who are susceptible. Pressure urticaria can appear at once or within 24 hoursTrusted Source. Allergic urticaria usually appears at once and disappears within 24 hours after removing the trigger.
• Seborrhoeic eczema. In this type of dermatitis, greasy yellow scales develop, mainly on the scalp, forehead, eyebrows, and in folds around the nose and lips.

If you already have one of these conditions, you may be more prone to developing Mask-NE, but wearing a mask regularly can also cause symptoms to arise for the first time.

Some masks and face coverings, such as those used in a healthcare setting, can lead to more severe skin changes because of the material used and the fit of the protective equipment.

• Mud Face Cleanser
• 3D Hyaluronic Acid Serum
