Objectives: The goal of our study was to explore various factors that impacted mask-related skin changes and how these skin changes affected quality of life.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed.

Article Synopsis
- Acne fulminans (AF) is a severe, painful form of acne primarily affecting adolescent males, often accompanied by systemic symptoms like fever and weight loss, and can arise after milder acne forms.
- The condition is thought to be triggered by hypersensitivity to a specific bacterium and influenced by factors like elevated testosterone levels and environmental pollutants.
- A case study showed a significant improvement in AF symptoms after treating a 40-year-old male with a combination of adalimumab (a TNF-alpha inhibitor) and doxycycline, suggesting potential new treatment options for this rare condition.
