Mask-ne (Mask-related Acne)
Mask-ne was common during the COVID era. It happens when masks trap sweat, oil, and bacteria, clogging pores and irritating the skin. Over-the-counter treatments can help if used correctly.
Acne comes in two main types: blackheads/whiteheads and pimples/cysts. Each type needs different care, but effective over-the-counter treatments are available if used correctly.
