8. 已出现的皮肤压伤如何治疗？

（1）如果只是有轻度的压痕，一般不需治疗；

（2）如果压痕比较重，或出现了局部的淤血、皮下出血，可以选用一些能改善皮肤血液循环的外用药膏；

10 Frequently asked questions about face masks (Part 4)

8. How to treat facial bruises caused by wearing masks？

(1) No treatment is needed when the mask leaves only slight marks and lines on your face.

(2) Apply the topical cream that increases the blood flow when the marks and lines are relatively deep, or when blood congestion and bleeding into the skin occur.

(3) Antibiotic ointments should also be used if there are swellings and ulcers. Adhesive bandages or medical dressings can be applied to affected areas as well.

(4) Excessive moisture inside the mask makes the skin extremely soft and creased. Applying creams containing zinc oxide or vaseline before putting on masks can reduce the moisture and friction on the skin.

(5) See a doctor if the wound becomes infected and allergic reactions take place.
