The lessons from the recent pandemic should be given due consideration and used as fundamental tools to conduct new research aimed at minimizing the major adverse effects of inappropriate use of standard protective measures by patients and healthcare professionals. This manuscript specifically addresses the first occurrence or worsening of acne associated with daily use of facial masks for very prolonged periods. The authors of the additional comments on the latest literature data hope to highlight timely topics on "mask acne" published in the latest edition of this Journal.
