Is it just me or are some of you suffering with a sore face…as in a rash when wearing a mask all day?

How do you cope

This is pissing me off

I’ve tried different masks but always the same

Have to say they've not caused me an issue although some can be rough around the earloop area. Have you tried antihistamines?

I do my best to take it off as soon as I can. I only wear one when around others & inside. The second I step outside, off it comes.

Wednesday took over an hour to get past security at Sheffield Crown Court without a mask - your not coming in, they said.

How come then I was stood in the court telling the judge she had no right to question me over a mask or ask for an exception and she never re-butted that fact.

A fact can not be questioned in court.

Grow some balls and stand up for your rights.

I don't wear one at all now. I do any shopping online or late at night when I can distance myself accordingly. I'm also testing both at work and at home most days again.

Couldn't take the panic attacks all over again.

We,like millions of others wear them as a courtesy to others not because we have to.

Masks simply don't work. If you look at when the mask mandates were introduced into various countries/states there is basically no effect on the number of cases. This should come as no surprise because the issue has been looked at for years in medical professionals. Cloth masks especially the filtration is around 0%. They also get damp and contaminated very quickly. Quite literally a petri dish of bacteria growing on your face. The studies indicate they are an infection risk. Think bacterial pneumonia. The science does support n95 masks as they do actually offer some protection but they must be properly fitted. If your glasses are steaming up because it's not fitted correctly around your nose you are simply wasting your time. In any case the only masks that do work the general public have been discouraged from wearing because they generally have an unfiltered exhaust valve.

What masks are about is behavior modification. It's visual propaganda to remind you there is even a pandemic at all. They drive fear and panic into the general public so the weak can be manipulated into giving up their rights. A mask shows your unquestioning obedience to the state and authority figures. A virtue signal strapped to your face.

That old chestnut

IF you had done any research you would find there was only one major study several years ago into the use of face masks to reduce virus transmission, it even listed the amount of reduction for many types of common cloth.

Guess what ?

You're completely wrong.

But I assume you already know that and it doesn't fit the agenda you are trying to promote.

Only one major study? Lol no. Just go to pubmed your and look at the studies yourself. During the Sars outbreak there were many large studies done. But this is not a new issue. It's been researched for years. If masks were effective at preventing viral transmission don't you think they would have been made mandatory years ago for nurses and other medical professionals?

In any case for people that are unwilling or unable to look at the published data just look at what mask mandates have done to cases. If you are lucky you might be able to cherry pick a country or two that shows a change in rate of infections, but in the vast majority they have made absolutely no difference.

If you believe that then you do you. I believe the OP was about skin irritation, not mandates.

Since the first wear a mask guidelines were issued how many cases of bacterial pneumonia have been recorded, in particular of course, attributable to wearing a mask?

Cherry pick, that sums up your post very nicely.

If you don't want to wear a mask, don't. Trying to justify your actions makes me feel deep down you know you're not doing your bit.

Depending on the specific issue, treatment of maskne or irritation seems to be either salicylic acid or a barrier against the mask

The headaches might be a side effect of your increased co2 intake (exhaled air trapped in the mask), not good for your health.

Coronavirus is around half the size of the gaps in n95 masks but yes like all masks they will decrease the velocity of air exhaled and hence a small effect on transmission to nearby people. The only masks capable of stopping Coronavirus are the likes of FFP3 and P100 (holes 1/5th the size of the virus).

Codswallop. Surgeons doing procedures lasting 6, 8, 10 or more hours seem to do just fine. If wearing masks caused any systematic problems with breathing or causing infections, then our healthcare and pharmaceutical industry staff would have croaked it years ago. I used to wear a surgical mask with a full hood visor over the top for many hours a day when I worked in pharmaceutical clean rooms, absolutely no ill effects for me or the hundreds of other people involved in producing sterile medicines for infusion.

To the OP, unsure what to suggest, other than some kind of barrier cream? Very cheap masks might produce more irritation so perhaps see if you can find better quality (if using disposable ones)?

Difficult, maybe a barrier cream or keep the mask a little loose. In severe cases surgical tape left on the affected skin (so the mask rubs on that instead). I recommended that for use on young children and babies fitted with temporary cleft palate plates, the nurses used smaller pieces of tape over the top to hold the plate wires in place (hence not ripping tape off the children's cheeks each time the plates were cleaned, left awful bleeding marks).

Never known so many people (not here but everywhere!) object & kick off so much about something as simple & easy as wearing a mask! And using freedom & human rights as an excuse not to is just bloody pathetic. Do the right thing & stop moaning about it! God help us if it mutates again & becomes much worse, we'll see how many continue to moan then!

Codswallop yourself !, I know of many people who suffer from the reduced oxygen intake and increased co2. Remember we are talking cheap paper or cloth masks, not the higher flow and filtration industrial types. Yes for decades I worked in the industry and used all kinds of PPE including full body. I know several scientists, chemists, doctors, nurses, a local hospital surgeon and had some real eye opening discussions with them.

I struggled with the masks I had for some time and couldn’t figure out why. I ended up investing in a silk mask (£25) and since using that I have found breathing better and less irritation on my skin. Another thing is perhaps look at your fabric cleaner, some washing powders esp scented can cause irritation and the strong smell can also cause headaches.

Hope some of that might help

I work in an operating theatre and have done since May 1986, I know of no one in all of those years if anyone getting ill from wearing a mask all day long, change them regularly, we even use the cheap paper ones.

You’ll also find that all surgeons wear masks now, when I first started everyone wore masks in theatres, then it changed and only the scrub team or those in ortho theatres that wore masks, now we’ve gone full circle and everyone wears them again in all specialities. I’d say that any surgeon who tells you that they operate without wearing a mask probably hasn’t practiced for a long time.

An extract from just one of many similar reports and human trials that match my own experiences working in the industry alongside scientists, chemists, doctors and nurses...

'Background and purpose

COVID-19 pandemic led to wide-spread use of face-masks, respirators and other personal protective equipment (PPE) by healthcare workers. Various symptoms attributed to the use of PPE are believed to be, at least in part, due to elevated carbon-dioxide (CO2) levels. 

Public health officials have recommended face-masks since studies demonstrated that they reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission [1, 2]. However, this recommendation became controversial and even politicized in some countries, because of concerns about the safety of masks [3, 4]. Furthermore, some studies raised concerns related to the hypercapnoea and hypoxemia caused during donning the face masks [4,5,6,7].

Although PPE use is necessary, the side-effects become more noticeable with their prolonged use [8, 9]. These perceptions have been associated with carbon dioxide (CO2) rebreathing from the mask [10,11,12]. Numerous side-effects such as dyspnea, dizziness, reduced cognition and headaches, have been reported with mask use,

Conclusion

Although, significant increase in CO2 concentrations are noted with routinely used face-masks, the levels still remain within the 15-minute NIOSH limits for short-term use'

.... so hell yes they cause issues, limit your use and breathe fresh air whenever you can. Beware experiencing dizziness and headaches, take a break, take it off and go outside.

MASKS WORK! The statistics speak for themselves! Ever since the government started to enforce them the curve has flattened itself. Put your mask on and STOP complaining. Also GET YOUR VACINATION because it's working to get the country back to normal. Anyone that refuses their booster and subsequent dozen+ boosters is complicit in k1lling 50 million vulnerable people.

"Actual science" is good when it's real world evidence based not evidence gleaned in a controlled environment. Face coverings have been mandated in many countries and states and evidence shows they have fared no different places that didn't mandate them. You might find the results of the Danmask trial interesting.

"MASKS WORK! The statistics speak for themselves! Ever since the government started to enforce them the curve has flattened itself. Put your mask on and STOP complaining. Also GET YOUR VACINATION because it's working to get the country back to normal. Anyone that refuses their booster and subsequent dozen+ boosters is complicit in k1lling 50 million vulnerable people. The science is in our favour so just comply.

It's absolutely common sense to reduce the spread of a potentially deadly disease.

I don't use the ear lobe loops. Instead have attached an elasticated loop that fits behind my head like the sort of mask you can wear to block out the light when you want to sleep. Much more comfortable.

Theres a delicious irony in your post.

It matters little that you think that you have a choice. Just get your (perfectly safe and effective) jab and wear your (perfectly safe and effective) mask....trust the government and the pharmaceutical industry. Trust the behavioural scientists and above all trust the media. This is for our own good. That's why ownership of your body is now in the hands of these institutions. All anti vaxers MUST comply and accept the next (whatever) number of boosters. Take your jab and wear your mask and it'll be all over in a couple of weeks. Trust the government PLEASE trust the government

"Only one major study? Lol no. Just go to pubmed your and look at the studies yourself. During the Sars outbreak there were many large studies done. But this is not a new issue. It's been researched for years. If masks were effective at preventing viral transmission don't you think they would have been made mandatory years ago for nurses and other medical professionals?

In any case for people that are unwilling or unable to look at the published data just look at what mask mandates have done to cases. If you are lucky you might be able to cherry pick a country or two that shows a change in rate of infections, but in the vast majority they have made absolutely no difference. "

Attempted to link to science journals about this previously but that got me a forum ban because apparently science isn't credible or some other such thing. Anyway...

'Prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the efficacy of community mask wearing to reduce the spread of respiratory infections was controversial because there were no solid relevant data to support their use. During the pandemic, the scientific evidence has increased. Compelling data now demonstrate that community mask wearing is an effective nonpharmacologic intervention to reduce the spread of this infection, especially as source control to prevent spread from infected persons, but also as protection to reduce wearers’ exposure to infection.'

If you google the above it's pretty recent and there are several similar studies that don't appear to be 'cherry picking' etc. etc.

I'm sure there are similarly credible studies about how mask wearing causes compliancy by the plebs but I haven't found it yet...

"Bunch of pansies.

Try working in temps of 50C wearing overalls and full-face respirator, not a simple bit of cloth."

I’m interested… what industry/role? Does your employer implement any further controls to mitigate the effects of working at those temperatures? Your post doesn’t mention any!

I do not normally comment on this part of forum. If you check HSE . About working temperatures . There is no legal limit. Other than company ensuring employees well being . Meaning breaks , avoid dehydration etc. Cold is different and more as other factors can cause problems. I have worked in both environments. Very high heat and low heat. Out of the two . Prefer low . As can put on warm clothing etc. Heat , need protection yes . But cannot take off clothing to cool down as more injury could occur.

I have continued to wear a mask since the Pandemic started, but have evolved what I wear as time has gone on.

I now wear a mask with either a built in filter valve or one which has an internal pocket, into which I can slip in a Multi layer filter.

I do Retail Voluntary Work, and where I work, we've all been supplied with the Secind Option as listed above.

Prior to leaving home each day, I also spray my masks with a specific disinfecting spray and carry a couple of spare masks just in case.

I also wash masks each week as an added precaution. It may be overkill to some, but it's what I do for myself and others.

Not sure if your comment was an attempt to answer my question…. I’m more than aware of HSE guidance …. This is why I asked the question… the poster I replied to doesn’t mention anything more than 50c and full face respirator…. It reads like 8 hour shift with thirty mins for lunch like everyone else but in 50c heat and respirator… I imagine this is far from the case! Hence my question!

What would you consider a ‘wear’ ?

thats why they should be one use only, and a proper surgical one at that, not some homemade thing that you wear every day, oh and they dont work anyway.

your local hospital will hand out the ones you need, im sure reusing them will give issues with sores, spots etc

If you're experiencing alergic reactions of some kind by wearing a mask it would probably be better & advisable you consult your doctor, even a quick chat on the phone to them, you'll probably get better & more reasonable advice/remedy than continung to query or rant on about it on any social site including this one.

By all means share your experience but in all honesty if I found myself experiencing some of the symptoms that have been detailed in numerous threads my doctor would be the first person I'd talk to.

Hopefully this contribution makes more sense to most people.

Not really so obvious, if you were to go say shopping would you keep the mask on throughout even if outside? Or do you use about 40 masks in an hour or three?

From what I’ve seen most people take a mask off and on when leaving entering shops… hence my question.

"Wednesday took over an hour to get past security at Sheffield Crown Court without a mask - your not coming in, they said.

How come then I was stood in the court telling the judge she had no right to question me over a mask or ask for an exception and she never re-butted that fact.

A fact can not be questioned in court.

Grow some balls and stand up for your rights."

I have multiple masks and find for me mircofibre ones are the best to wear for long stints as the are breathable but do provide some protection.

Ever looked inside a surgical theatre? I guess they wear masks for the fun of it.

Masks are no laughing matter. Health professionals wear them to stop little droplets falling from their faces into open wounds. That's fair enough but when worn in the street , enclosed spaces, pubs, clubs, sprts events, saunas, swimming pools, nursery schools, special needs establishments, the beach, white water rafting sites, windsurfing schools, para-gliding tutorials, BMX tracks and scuba diving schools...to name but a few...people should wear 2 masks minimum.

This will keep everyone safe (as is proven in the past) and it will help stop the spread of misinformation when people mouth to other people about the lies being spread regarding big pharma vaccines being useless and causing hard to individuals....everyone knows that this is just not the case. Vaccines and masks are an absolute godsend from your government.
