Mask Wearers Developing Face Breakouts Called “Maskitis”

With mask orders still in full effect to slow the spread of COVID-19, many people are experiencing a skin rash known as “maskitis.”

This condition causes blemishes to be produced by humidity and friction created by the masks.

Skincare expert Dr. Dennis Gross says that the breakout is often confused with “maskne,” though the symptoms and treatments are different. Maskitis is a flaky, dry rash. Maskne is bumps and blemishes caused by face coverings that can spread if left untreated.

“Knowing the difference is important because misdiagnosis can lead to further skin irritation,” Dr. Gross says.

The type of skin a person has will determine whether they are dealing with maskitis or maskne. People with dry skin or conditions such as eczema and dermatitis are more prone to maskitis, while those who suffer from naturally oily or blemish-prone skin are at risk for maskne.

Maskitis can be treated with anti-inflammatory methods such as superfoods and adaptogens with niacinamide. Acne treatments are best when combating maskne, according to Dr. Gross.
