Picture this: you're reading something on your phone and you can't help but feel a small headache coming on. So you reach out to massage the spot between your eyes, but your fingers end up scratching off some dried flaked skin.

Does that sound familiar? If it is, then you may have what's called seborrheic dermatitis or facial dandruff.

It's a type of skin infection that can affect different parts of our face, neck and ears, turning some spots dry, itchy, flaky and/or red.

Frequent use of face masks can cause skin problems

From dealing with skin irritation and acne to redness and abrasions, there are in fact a handful of ways that wearing a face mask daily can harm your skin.

It’s no surprise as dirt, makeup, natural oil, and sweat can build up under a mask throughout the day. Women with long-hour shifts may have also dealt with irritation and uncomfortable friction due to having the fabric rub against their face.
