Mask-Induced Facial Dermatoses in the Saudi Arabian Population During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) emerged in 2019 and was responsible for noteworthy morbidity and death throughout the world. Due to preventive measures, various adverse reactions to the skin occurred which were associated with prolonged use of wearing a face mask. Objectives The study aimed to determine the incidence and assess the clinical features of mask-induced dermatoses.

Acneiform Eruption Following Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor Treatment in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis.

Importance: A new treatment for cystic fibrosis combining 3 CFTR modulators-elexacaftor (ELX), tezacaftor (TEZ), and ivacaftor (IVA)-has recently been approved for cystic fibrosis treatment. The cutaneous adverse effects following treatment with this combination are poorly described in the literature.

Objective: To describe the clinicopathological features and treatment response of ELX-TEZ-IVA-associated acneiform eruptions in patients with cystic fibrosis.

New Normal Mask-Wearing and Its Impact on Underneath Skin Microbiome: A Cross-Sectional Study in Mild Acne Vulgaris Patients.

Introduction: Prolonged mask-wearing could modulate the skin microenvironment resulting in several facial dermatoses. Microbial dysbiosis is proposed to be linked with these changes; however, data regarding the association is still limited. Accordingly, we aimed to explore the impact of face masks on the skin's bacterial microbiota.

Facial Dermatoses in Patients With Blepharitis: a Cross-sectional Prospective Analysis.

Introduction: The relationship between facial dermatoses and blepharitis has been known for a long time.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the frequency of accompanying facial dermatoses in patients with blepharitis and their relationship with the severity of blepharitis.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 95 patients with blepharitis were examined for attending facial dermatoses.

Photosensitivity is an important cause of refractory facial erythema in atopic dermatitis: A retrospective study of 82 Chinese patients.

Background: Ultraviolet radiation can aggravate facial erythema in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients.

Objective: To investigate the photobiological testing results of Chinese AD patients with refractory facial erythema.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 82 AD patients with refractory facial erythema who visited our department during 2004-2021.

Maskne-Dermatosis of a Pandemic. A Survey on the Impact of PPE on Facial Skin Among HCW and N-HCW in Poland.

Introduction: During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, personal protective equipment (PPE) became the new social norm for preventing COVID-19, but with an impact on the skin barrier. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing PPE wearing, following hygiene rules, and effect on facial skin, including onset or exacerbation of dermatoses among healthcare workers (HCW) and non-healthcare workers (N-HCW).

Methods: In 2020, an original survey was carried out among 300 N-HCW and 60 HCW with 60 questions about using PPE and skin lesions experienced before and during the pandemic.

Facial dermatoses induced by face masks: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

The use of masks for infection control was common in the COVID-19 pandemic. As numerous cross-sectional studies have suggested a link between the use of such masks and various facial dermatoses, a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies was conducted to evaluate this association, as well as potential risk factors for the development of such facial dermatoses. Observational studies were searched for in MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register.

Lupus Miliaris Disseminatus Faciei: Response to Combination of Isotretinoin and Oral Minipulse.

A 32-year-old man presented with multiple reddish and skin-colored asymptomatic skin lesions over his face and ears present for a year. These lesions appeared in crops at variable intervals, healing with scarring over the next few months. He had received doxycycline and azithromycin for about 6 months without any relief.

FFP3 Feelings and Clinical Experience (FaCE). Facial pressure injuries in healthcare workers from FFP3 masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aims: Prolonged wear of filtering facepiece 3 (FFP3) masks during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to dermatoses, including pressure sores. This study aimed to better understand the local scale and nature of the problem, coping strategies, and impact on those affected.

Methods: A survey was designed by plastic surgeons, tissue viability nurses, and critical care doctors.

Effectiveness of VISIA system in evaluating the severity of rosacea.

Background: Rosacea is a facial chronic inflammatory skin disease with almost 5.5% prevalence. Although there are various scales of rosacea, they are objective and discordant among different dermatologists.

In vivo evaluation of facial papule dermatoses with reflectance confocal microscopy in children.

Background: Molluscum contagiosum (MC), milia, keratosis pilaris (KP), verruca plana (VP), seborrheic keratosis (SK), and juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) are common papule dermatoses on the face of children that have a similar appearance. In vivo evaluation of facial papule dermatoses with reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is helpful in the diagnosis of these ambiguous lesions in children. The purpose of this study was to clarify the RCM characteristics of MC, milia, KP, VP, SK, and JXG and explore the clinical application value of RCM for these common facial papule dermatoses.

Perialar intertrigo in children and adolescents: A multicenter prospective study of 41 cases.

Background/objectives: We observed isolated cases of perialar intertrigo in children and teenagers that did not appear to correspond to any known clinical entity. The objective of this study was to describe the clinical features of this dermatosis and the clinical characteristics of the patients.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, multicenter cohort study in France from August 2017 to November 2019.

Personal protective equipment-related dermatoses in COVID-19 frontline health workers. A lesson learned from 1-year single center in the UAE.

Since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in March 2020, frontline health care workers wear personal protective equipment (PPE, surgical masks, N95 or similar respirators, gloves, goggles, face shields, and gowns). Alcohol-based sanitizers and wipes were recommended. Such measures lead to disruption of the natural skin habitat and skin barrier and various cutaneous reactions.
