Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . It seems to me that like a allergic reaction form the mask . Your doctor has suggest you the right thing . Use broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 while under the sun exposure . Paraffin oil is known to be very healthy for skin specially for those who experience skin damage due to environment .

I would suggest you to use 'KOJIC ACID CREAM ' twice a day , which is very effective for dark spots and safe for long term use , drink plenty of water through the day ( at least 8-9 glasses ) , Eat green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits .

You can try mask made up of another material .

If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist again for proper diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (metronidazole ) , anti histamine drug or hydroquinone cream.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
