Wash hands with soap followed by soap substitute and pat dry.

Use a regular bland emollient to minimise hand dryness.

A greasy emollient under cotton gloves at night may be effective.

For red, itchy, inflamed areas of hand dermatitis, use topical corticosteroid of moderate potency if needed.

Change mask frequently, ideally every 2 hours.

Avoid greasy, comedogenic facial products (contribute to occlusion) to minimise acne.

Face wash containing salicylic acid and/or benzoyl peroxide may be helpful with facial acne.

For pressure injury from face masks, dressings (eg DuoDERM™ Extra Thin) can be applied at the site of the seal.

Applying emollient to the face 30 mins before donning PPE can help minimise pressure injury and facial dermatitis.

3M™ Cavilon™ Barrier Cream application to pressure sites of FFP3 mask and face shield seals prior to application does not affect fit of seal and can help to protect the skin.
