Hello! Can you describe the pimples in question? Do you have any other symptoms? For example, does it sting? Do you think there is a trigger? Also, do you wear the mask often? Have you changed any of the products in your routine recently, such as soap, cream, detergent, etc?With an answer to these questions, I will be better able to help you. Catherine Deslandes, pharmacy student Supervised by Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist Thank you so much for this information! The situation you describe to me would deserve to be seen by a doctor. Indeed, the presence of blisters and itching indicates to me that it may not be acne. It also doesn't seem to be symptoms of dermatitis, given the blisters. So I would advise you to see a doctor so that he or she can make a diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment if necessary.
