Frequently changing face masks will not help alleviate acne resulting from prolonged use of masks, says a psychodermatologist.
Since the onset of the pandemic, more and more patients have been consulting dermatologists on their shingles and psoriasis, those red, scaly, worrisome patches.
Signs of distress cover a wide range, from memory loss to poor concentration, anxiety and moodiness, to irregular bowel movement and changes in eating and sleeping habits, random aches and pains, and higher consumptions of alcohol and nicotine.“It’s the brain’s main stress response system, the hypopituitary axis, which stimulates production of the stress hormone cortisol, that is affected.
“Several publications have reported that patients who tested positive for the coronavirus were initially diagnosed with herpes zoster.”There’s been a resurgence of a few other skin conditions lately, he added, among them acne resulting from prolonged use of face masks. “The main cause is bacteria that thrive in the humid environment created by the mask.” He doesn’t think that frequently changing masks will help alleviate the problem.
