Abstract：
Coronavirus disease 2019 is a severe acute respiratory syndrome, and wearing a mask is an important preventive measure. However, long-term use can cause maskne, or mask-induced acne. This study evaluated the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and severity of mask-induced acne and its effect on pre-existing dermatosis using an online questionnaire. The questionnaire comprised 15 questions on 6 primary topics: demographic data, type of face mask, dermatological symptoms after using a mask, preexisting dermatological conditions, the duration of use, and the effects of mask use on existing dermatological conditions. We included 1,025 participants; 48.6% had dermatological symptoms after using masks. The most common symptoms were red papules (33.8%) and itching (27.2%). Individuals who wore masks for more than 4 hours daily experienced more dermatological symptoms, for example, healthcare providers, who had a higher risk of maskrelated dermatosis than participants with other occupations. Moreover, masks significantly increased the severity of rosacea, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. These results suggest that board-certified dermatologists should assess patients in larger-scale studies to determine adequate management strategies.
摘要：
2019年冠状病毒病是一种严重的急性呼吸道综合症，戴口罩是重要的预防措施。然而,长期使用会导致maskne,或面膜诱发的痤疮。这项研究评估了患病率，临床特征,使用在线问卷，面罩诱发的痤疮的严重程度及其对预先存在的皮肤病的影响。问卷包括关于6个主要主题的15个问题：人口统计数据，面膜的类型，使用口罩后的皮肤病症状，预先存在的皮肤病，使用的持续时间，以及使用口罩对现有皮肤病的影响。我们包括1,025名参与者；48.6%的人在使用口罩后出现皮肤病症状。最常见的症状是红色丘疹（33.8％）和瘙痒（27.2％）。每天戴口罩超过4小时的人出现了更多的皮肤病症状，例如,医疗保健提供者，与其他职业的参与者相比，他们患口罩相关皮肤病的风险更高。此外，口罩显着增加酒渣鼻的严重程度，接触性皮炎,和脂溢性皮炎.这些结果表明，经过董事会认证的皮肤科医生应在大规模研究中评估患者，以确定适当的管理策略。
