Traveling with eczema

Has anyone traveled recently? if so, how do you feel about wearing a mask the whole flight and how did you feel?

i have noticed when i wear my mask too long my face tends to flare more. I will be traveling next month so I am feeling a bit nervous about it.

When I traveled in December I remember my facial eczema got bad because of the mask.

  1. , what a great idea! My face pays dearly for it if I have to wear a mask for any length of time, so I’m going to try this. Thanks for the suggestion, Cora Lyn, AtopicDermatitis.net Team Member

    1. Can you smear Vaseline or similar over cheeks & nose. I use Diprobase ointment. Happy holiday.
