, a newly coined term deriving from the contraction of mask-related acne, is a form of mechanical acne resulting from continuous textile-skin adherence and friction. Prolonged mask use heats up the face environment, thus modifying skin microbiota and sebum production. Although effective prevalence is unknown, since the pandemic began and the prolonged use of masks was extended to the general population, has been a frequent topic of consultation among dermatologists. This term has been successfully introduced into common language, with more than 200,000 hashtags on social media, where it is also possible to find "home remedies" that can worsen this dermatosis. The aim of this paper is to discuss the pathogenesis, address clinicians on the correct differential diagnoses among facial dermatoses, and move towards the correct therapy.
“口罩痘”是一个新造术语，由“与口罩相关的痤疮”缩写而来，是一种因纺织品与皮肤持续贴合及摩擦导致的机械性痤疮。长时间佩戴口罩会使面部环境升温，从而改变皮肤微生物群和皮脂分泌。尽管实际患病率尚不清楚，但自疫情开始且口罩的长时间使用扩展至普通人群以来，“口罩痘”一直是皮肤科医生会诊时的常见话题。这个术语已成功进入日常用语，在社交媒体上有超过20万个相关话题标签，在那里还能找到可能会加重这种皮肤病的“家庭疗法”。本文旨在探讨其发病机制，指导临床医生对面部皮肤病进行正确的鉴别诊断，并寻求正确的治疗方法。
