In the hot weather, children become "mask faces" when they are not careful
Yesterday, Chongqing Morning News upstream reporter learned at Chongqing Children's Hospital that many children have "mask face" symptoms recently. The doctor said that if the mask is not properly worn, it will not only not protect people's safety, but also cause face damage.
"Doctor, what's wrong with the baby's face?" Two days ago, in the dermatology department of the outpatient department of Chongqing Children's Hospital, a Baoma anxiously asked the doctor with her 3-year-old son Junjun. Junjun's face was swollen and shiny, and his two little hands scratched and scratched on his face.
According to Dr. Liu Li, a series of facial skin problems caused by improper wearing of masks for a long time or poor quality masks are called "mask faces".
In addition to allergy, "mask face" also includes device related stress injuries caused by wearing masks for a long time; Because the skin is stuffy and airtight, it may cause bacterial infection on the skin, which may lead to mouth closure, blackheads, acne, etc.
"We must stay away from fake and inferior products and choose a disposable mask with soft texture, appropriate size and good air permeability." Dr. Liu Li said that in the hot summer, if we want to make face and mask coexist peacefully, we must first choose the right mask.
For those who are prone to allergies, you need to read the instructions carefully to understand the mask materials and avoid allergenic ingredients. To ensure the hygiene of the mask, replace it in time. On weekdays, choose some mild and non irritating facial cleanser or clean it directly with water. Finally, remember to do a good job of moisturizing and sunscreen.
When erythema, itching and other symptoms have occurred, effective skin care products that do not contain alcohol, essence and other irritant materials can be used to relieve skin allergy symptoms.
Doctor Liu Li reminded that if he could not solve the skin problem of "mask face" by himself, he suggested to see a dermatologist in a professional medical institution.
