Nous avons calculé le pourcentage moyen d’utilisation de masque par les cas OPD visitant l’hôpital pendant un mois lors de chaque vague du COVID -19, c’est-à-dire au mois de juin 2020 lors de la première vague, au mois d’avril 2021 lors de la deuxième vague et au mois de décembre 2021 lors de la troisième vague. Nous avons également inclus 30 patients avec un diagnostic de dermatite de contact irritante aka maskne et 30 patients avec un diagnostic d’acné vulgaire, tous âgés de plus de 18 ans entre avril 2020 et décembre 2021.
Introduction: The term “maskne” originated during the SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic; it is a variant of acne associated with continuous wearing of face mask. Maskne is mainly observational, and the most common cause of maskne is contact irritant dermatitis. Materials and methods: The average mask use percentage by OPD cases visiting the hospital for a month in each wave of the COVID -19, that is, in the month of June 2020 during the first wave, in the month of April 2021 during the second wave and in the month of December 2021 during the third wave was calculated. We also included 30 patients with a diagnosis of irritant contact dermatitis aka maskne and 30 patients with diagnosis of acne vulgaris, all >18 years of age from April 2020 to December 2021. Results: 66% of people wore masks coming to hospital in the month of June 2020 (first wave) which increased to 74% during the second wave in the month of April 2021 and during the third wave only 23% of people wore masks in the month of December 2021. Conclusion: Maskne and worsening of acne vulgaris can be due to wearing of dirty face masks for longer duration. Use of moisturizers and regular “mask breaks” are important aspects in management of maskne.
