   I thought I was the only one having these issues! What an absolute shame. I am allowed to wear a cloth mask underneath surgical, but my skin is so sensitive.

2. Mask allergy??

   dalavanj replied to ducky2000's topic in COVID

   I have eczema and haven’t had a flare up in a few years until I was required to wear the surgical masks at work. My lips and chin were inflamed, pink, and just overall painful. My facility will allow me to wear a cloth mask underneath the surgical, w...
