长期佩戴口罩，面部形成比较封闭潮湿的环境，容易造成细菌滋生。如果油脂分泌旺盛，特别是油性皮肤分泌不通畅，会诱发黑头、闭口粉刺、“青春痘”、玫瑰痤疮等皮肤问题。 Wearing a mask in public has become normal amid the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. Masks help prevent infection of respiratory diseases, particularly the novel coronavirus. But wearing for a long time could cause skin damage including pimples and abrasions.
如何科学治疗戴口罩起痘痘的问题呢？
在疫情防控期间大家每天戴口罩，面部形成了相对封闭的环境，皮肤潮湿造成细菌滋生，使痘痘加重。针对这个问题，刘女士认为，首先大家应注意面部清洁，如果化妆或者涂防晒霜的话，回家后要先卸妆，选择适合肤质的洗面奶在面部揉搓清洁，然后用清水清洗干净。特别提醒大家注意，已经形成的痘痘千万不要挤。在饮食方面，要注意少吃辛辣、刺激的食物，少吃甜食。饮食、睡眠要保持比较好的节律。如果已经出现了白头粉刺、黑头粉刺这样的轻度痤疮，可以选用外用的维甲酸软膏来使用。要注意的是，这个药有光敏性，所以尽量选择睡前使用。如果皮损再加重，出现了红色的丘疹或脓疱，可以加用外用抗生素软膏，比如说夫西地酸、莫匹罗星等。涂抹软膏的时候要先清洁双手，避免手上有不干净的东西带到眼睛或者口腔造成污染。如果再进一步加重，形成中重度痤疮，一般要使用口服抗生素或异维A酸来治疗，由于这些药有一定的副作用或者禁忌，建议大家到医院就诊后在医生指导下使用。 在保证防疫安全的前提下，建议可以每2-3小时摘下口罩让皮肤透透气。 在这个特殊时期，最重要的是保护皮肤，素颜可有效减轻皮肤负担。大家不如这么想，妆化得再好看，口罩一戴也看不见，何必呢？所以为了保养好我们的脸，建议大家还是素颜出门。 另外，对于口罩过敏的，可以尝试更换透气轻薄的口罩。为减少皮肤出现压痕，可在口罩和皮肤接触的部位涂抹凡士林。 Dr. Liu Jie, professor of medicine from the Department of Dermatology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, provided some suggestions for the public regarding the protection of skin under masks. The doctor suggested that people change the position of their masks after two to three hours of use, and replace them after six hours. Pressure from wearing masks could also injure the skin and tissue around the nose, cheeks and behind the ears. "People who have sensitive skin are suggested to read the instructions (of their mask) before using to check if the mask contains material that could cause skin allergies," Dr. Liu said during a press conference on Tuesday. She suggested people choose tie-on face masks or those with wider straps that cause less pressure. "Parents need to choose masks of suitable size and shape for their children to reduce pressure on their faces." For those who have heavy indentations caused by masks, Dr. Liu said that topical creams containing Mucopolysaccharide Polysulfate (MPS) could help ease the situation, and that people could use topical Neosporin if there was swelling or ulcerations on their skin. Pale and wrinkled skin is mainly caused by concentrated moisture under the masks. Using a moisturizer that contains zinc oxide or Vaseline can reduce irritation to the skin from sweat and friction, according to Dr. Liu. After taking off the masks, people should clean their skin and use moisturizer. "If there is serious skin damage such as infection or allergy, please go to the hospital and seek professional treatment," she said. （部分中文选自新浪财经，人民网） 推荐阅读：央视专访美国“病毒猎手”：中国抗击疫情的努力令人感动疫情之下，日本音乐人坂本龙一对中国孩子们说了这些温暖的话我是人类，不是病毒。你愿意和我自拍吗？
