关于口罩的10个问题（第五部分）
9. 戴口罩会使脸上的痘痘加重吗？
疫情防控期间，大家每天戴着口罩，面部形成比较封闭的环境，皮肤潮湿造成细菌滋生，容易使痘痘加重。
建议大家注意面部清洁，如果化妆或涂防晒霜，回家后要先卸妆，然后选择适合肤质的洗面奶在面部揉搓清洁，再用清水洗净。注意少吃辛辣刺激食物，少吃甜食，饮食睡眠要规律。
10. 痘痘已经加重了怎么办？
已经形成的痘痘，千万不要用手去挤。
如果出现了明显的白头粉刺和黑头粉刺等，可以使用维甲酸软膏，这个药有光敏性，要在睡前使用。
如果症状再加重出现红色丘疹和脓疱，可以加用外用的抗生素。
外用这些软膏时要先清洁双手，避免手上有不干净的东西带到眼睛或者口腔，造成污染。
痤疮进一步加重，形成中度痤疮，一般要长时间使用抗生素治疗。由于这些药都有一定副作用或者禁忌，建议在医生指导下使用。
10 Frequently asked questions about face masks (Part 5)
9. Will the pimples get worse because of wearing a face mask?
When we have a face mask on every day during the outbreak, the humidity of the masked area increases, creating an environment for bacteria to breed. As a result, the pimples might get worse. You should keep your face clean. When you arrive home, remove your makeup or sun cream if there is any, and then clean and massage your face with face wash suitable for your skin type. Finally rinse the cleanser off with water. Cut down on spicy and sugary foods. Maintain a healthy diet and a regular sleep schedule.
10. What to do if the pimples have already worsened?
Never pop pimples with your fingers. Apply tretinoin cream to whiteheads and blackheads before bedtime, for the medicine is prone to inactivation by light. If papules and pustules occur, use topical antibiotics in addition to your present medicine. Clean your hands before using the cream to prevent any contamination to the eyes or mouth. If your conditions worsen and pimples become moderately severe, you will need long-term use of antibiotics. Use antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor, as they all have side effects or contraindications.
