I've been having constant acne on my face since the pandemic, and I just can't seem to fix it. I don't know if it's from wearing a mask all the time or stress, but my skin was never like this. Do you have any good serum or mask recommendations? Or should I see a doctor?
The same thing happened to me during the pandemic; I kept getting pimples on my chin from wearing a mask all the time. I used a cream called Sebium Global, and it helped a lot. But it could also be stress, because I tended to break out more when I was stressed about exams.
Sweetheart, I think you should see a dermatologist. It’s important to approach these things with the right products, don’t just pick anything randomly. My daughter had the same issue, and the doctor immediately prescribed a regular treatment.
This period is quite common, not just because of the mask. Stress and the fatigue of the skin barrier also have an effect. Maybe I'd suggest checking your soap or face washing habits; they might be drying your skin out too much.
My friend got a serum, it was one of Cosrx's products, and she was really satisfied. But it's a bit expensive. If you want, you can research it; you might find it cheaper online at pharmacies or something.
I noticed something like this: It's especially common in the chin area under the mask. My skin seems to look worse in the morning when I wake up. I guess I need to see a dermatologist, but I wanted to try something before going to the doctor.
I think stress is a big factor too. You might think it's because of the mask, but it seems to get worse in the morning, which is more related to hormones. Do you notice an increase during your menstrual periods? You might find a clue there.
You're at the perfect age for weddings now, and if this skin situation gets worse, it could be a problem, honestly. I think you should see a specialist right away, so you don't end up with any scars or anything in the future. You'll regret it a lot later if you don't.
Looking in the mirror in the morning and seeing those pimples can be really frustrating, I understand. They say it's usually hormonal around the chin area, but it might have been aggravated by the mask. You could start with a gentle gel cleanser, maybe.
But do you pay attention to your skin care under the mask? For instance, if you don't change it during the day or if you put it on without cleaning your skin, it can really build up. Or do you always use the same washing routine?
