Ask a dermatologist: ‘Maskne’ and other skin questions

Many of us have been wearing masks since early April. 

But wearing fabric over your mouth and nose can trap bacteria and cause breakouts. The term dermatologists use to describe this is “maskne.”

Two dermatologists join MPR News host Angela Davis to talk about treating and preventing “maskne,” as well as other hair and skin questions.

Guest:

• Dr. Charles E. Crutchfield III is a clinical professor of dermatology at the University of Minnesota Medical School, and the medical director at Crutchfield Dermatology in Eagan.

• Dr. Rachel Hub is a dermatologist at Park Nicollet Clinic and Specialty Center in St. Louis Park.
