A member asked:
In regards to the coronavirus, i have facial eczema and find it very difficult to avoid touching my face as suggested by cdc. are there any tips to help soothe my skin or prevent me from touching my face?

Wear a mask: It is fine to touch your face with recently washed fingers. As you try to avoid random contact a loosely fitted mask can both remind you and decrease the spread of any virus you carry to others. It won't protect you as much from inhaling random virus but can help overall.
