Acne from PPE

Prolonged local pressure from face masks may lead to blockage of pilosebaceous ducts, which contribute to the development of acnes. For mild lesions, employ topical use of antibiotics and/or retinoid ointment. For severe conditions, add systemic treatment with minocycline or isotretinoin.
