Résumé
The requirement to wear masks as part of barrier measures to prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has generated many dermatological issues, for health care professionals (HCP) and the general population (1). These problems may be related to skin changes due to occlusion, i.e. increased temperature and humidity, water loss, friction etc. (2). While some studies focused on skin changes in the general population, others suggested that facial skin diseases worsen with wearing permanently a mask (3).
