A member asked:
Fungal infection on the side of my face (diagnosed by minuteclinic, going to dermatologist soon), and i've been treating with anti fungal cream 2-3 weeks. it's got bigger. i wear a mask everyday, which goes over it. does this affect the healing?

Fungal infection is not a likely cause of facial rash. If the rash is primarily in the area covered by the mask, perhaps it's the result of moisture, or maybe allergy to material in the mask. Try wearing the mask less frequently (consistent with safety), or maybe a different brand of mask. And keep your dermatology appointment. Good luck.
