Preventive measures including mask wearing are crucial in slowing the transmission of COVID-19 disease. However, prolonged wearing of protective masks can easily generate excessive sweating, moisture and friction. Closed and warm environments heighten the skin's permeability and sensitivity to physical or chemical irritants, leading to chronic cumulative irritant contact dermatitis or, rarely, even allergic contact dermatitis. Although not representing a life-threatening condition, allergic contact dermatitis create emotional discomfort due to the involvement of evident body areas. To minimize the skin breakdown, adherence to standards on wearing protective and safe equipments and avoidance of overprotection should be performed.
包括佩戴口罩在内的预防措施对于减缓新冠病毒疾病的传播至关重要。然而，长时间佩戴防护口罩容易导致过度出汗、潮湿和摩擦。封闭且温暖的环境会增强皮肤对物理或化学刺激物的通透性和敏感性，从而引发慢性累积性刺激性接触性皮炎，甚至很少见地会引发过敏性接触性皮炎。过敏性接触性皮炎虽不危及生命，但由于明显的身体部位受累，会造成情绪上的不适。为了尽量减少皮肤损伤，应遵守佩戴防护和安全设备标准，并避免过度防护。
