背景以前的研究已经证明了长期佩戴个人防护装备对医护人员的不良影响的可能性。然而，关于非卫生保健工作者佩戴口罩后对皮肤特征的影响的研究很少。在这项研究中，我们评估了长期佩戴口罩对皮肤的皮肤病学影响。材料与方法21名健康男性和女性参与了这项研究。所有参与者连续戴口罩6小时。分别在(a)佩戴口罩前、(b)佩戴口罩1小时后和(c)佩戴口罩6小时后进行三次测量。测量皮肤温度、皮肤红度、皮脂分泌、皮肤水化、表皮水分流失和皮肤弹性。结果佩戴1、6小时后皮肤温度、红度、水合、皮脂分泌均有明显变化。戴口罩区和不戴口罩区皮肤温度、红度和水合作用有显著差异。结论佩戴口罩的条件和时间可以改变皮肤的多种特征。特别是，口腔周围可能受到最严重的影响。
Background Previous studies have demonstrated the possibility of adverse effects of prolonged wearing of personal protective equipment in healthcare workers. However, there are a few studies about the effects on skin characteristics after wearing a mask for non-healthcare workers. In this study, we evaluated the dermatologic effects of wearing a mask on the skin over time.Materials and Method Twenty-one healthy men and women participated in the study. All participants wore masks for 6 hours consecutively. Three measurements were taken (a) before wearing the mask, (b) after wearing the mask for 1 hour, and (c) after wearing the mask for 6 hours. Skin temperature, skin redness, sebum secretion, skin hydration, trans-epidermal water loss, and skin elasticity were measured.Results The skin temperature, redness, hydration, and sebum secretion were changed significantly after 1 and 6 hours of wearing a mask. Skin temperature, redness, and hydration showed significant differences between the mask-wearing area and the non-mask-wearing area.Conclusion Mask-wearing conditions and time can change several skin characteristics. In particular, it is revealed that the perioral area could be most affected.
