The widespread use of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in facial skin conditions such as maskne, dermatitis, and rosacea due to factors like friction, heat, and chemical irritants. These conditions are particularly prevalent among women and young people, exacerbated by stress and chronic mask use. Prevention and management strategies include mild skincare routines, lipid-rich moisturizers, and breathable mask materials, while treatments involve plant-based anti-inflammatories and medications. Future efforts aim to develop gentler mask materials and expand teledermatology services.
