Are YOU suffering from maskitis ? A-list skincare expert warns of painful, flaky rash caused by face masks that is often confused with maskne - and can spread quickly if left untreated
Dr. Dennis Gross, who counts the likes of Zoe Kravitz and Selena Gomez among his clients, said many people who think they have maskne actually have maskitis
Maskne is blemishes caused by the friction of the mask against the skin, and the humidity caused by the face covering
According to the board-certified dermatologist, maskitis is marked by small bumps, redness, inflammation and dry, flaky skin
Treatments for the two conditions are very different, Dr. Gross explained
