Colored face shields can cause skin reactions if made from chemically colored synthetics. The Russians were warned about such a danger by Elena Morozova, an assistant at the Rakhmanov Department of Skin and Venereal Diseases of the Sklifosov Institute of Clinical Medicine at Sechenov University, Candidate of Medical Sciences Elena Morozova, reports the Moscow agency.
According to Morozova, she often sees people wearing black masks on the streets. They contain a dye, which in itself provokes a skin reaction, and sometimes patients complain of an unpleasant chemical odor from the products. Due to such a mask, dermatosis can occur, because the black dye is allergenic.
Morozova noted that fabric colored masks should be regularly changed or washed thoroughly, and, first of all, pay attention to the manufacturer and qualities. She explained that such masks are most often worn by children now, and if the product is not changed or washed for a long time, teenage acne may worsen. The doctor recommended choosing disposable medical masks and changing them regularly.
Earlier, the Russians were told that to get rid of the discomfort when wearing a mask, it is worth doing breathing exercises, breathing deeply and slowly. According to Andrei Tyazhelnikov, a freelance specialist at the Moscow health department, negative feelings can be caused by psychological reasons, because some believe that it is harder to breathe when wearing masks. The condition is also influenced by the fact that the mask covers the face of the interlocutor, the person does not see his emotions and begins to get nervous. This affects breathing, but the person does not understand the real reason and blames everything on the mask, the doctor explained.
