Hi everyone,
Throwing a question out regarding transparent acrylic face masks for
burns. Any suggestions for reducing/managing sweating beneath the mask?
I have a client recently fitted with an acrylic face mask. Client
describes self as always having been a hot bod, the sort of person who
goes to bed without pajamas on even in the middle of winter.
Client has air-conditioning. Waking 2-3 hours into night-time
wear sweating profusely beneath mask, & with skin consequently itchy,
having to remove mask. Can tolerate 1-2 hour blocks of wear during day
before needing a break for the same reason.
Any magical ideas?
Thank you in advance brains trust.
Warm regards,
