Patients who are allergic to wearing masks should remove the mask immediately and follow the doctor’s instructions for topical ointment and oral antihistamine medication. If you have to wear masks, you can prevent and relieve the allergy by choosing qualified masks and keeping the skin clean.
1. Ointment: mask allergy can be applied by applying a weak hormonal cream such as Denadyl cream or hydrocortisone butyrate cream.
2. Oral medication: For patients with severe itching, redness and swelling, antihistamines such as loratadine tablets and benadryl tablets can be taken for treatment.
3. Qualified masks: When buying masks, read the instructions in detail to see if there are any allergy-prone substances, and try to wear masks made of different materials or change new masks diligently.
4. Keep skin clean: For patients with sensitive skin, they can take off the mask in a safe environment and take steps to clean and moisturize their skin, and avoid make-up.
When patients have symptoms of allergy to wearing masks, they should go to the hospital in time, and choose the appropriate medication for treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
