Wearing a mask is not familiar to all of us. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, we have to wear masks whenever we go out, and many public places require us to wear masks.

Wearing a mask for a long time can prevent some respiratory infectious diseases, such as influenza and COVID-19 epidemic virus, but wearing a mask for a long time is sensitive and leads to skin allergy.

First, the benefits of wearing a mask for a long time

As we all know, in hospitals with many patients, medical staff must wear oral sex and face masks when they go to work every day. Recently, someone heard that wearing a mask may cause pulmonary nodules, but this statement is not correct. Nowadays, medical instruments are more and more advanced, and the examination is particularly sensitive. It is easy to detect pulmonary nodules, but it does not mean that this is related to wearing masks. Wearing a mask for a long time can prevent the spread of respiratory infectious diseases. In an environment with severe haze weather, you can wear a mask to prevent inhalation of some harmful substances.

2. Disadvantages of wearing a mask for a long time

If we wear masks for a long time, if people with sensitive skin can easily cause skin allergies, wearing masks often can easily lead to acne, because the air where we wear masks is not very ventilated and allergic. It may also cause excited hypoxia, and some masks are poorly ventilated, which may easily lead to poor breathing. It may also lead to a cold, because wearing a mask for a long time has become accustomed to such an environment, and it is easy to catch a cold when taking off the mask. It is very cold in winter, which is easy to cause flu, so you should wear a mask in a crowded public place.
