After washing her face before going to bed, she found that she didn't have a mask. Using a moisturizing whitening mask commonly used by girlfriends, it took only 5 minutes. She felt itchy on the face and neck. She quickly took off the mask. The next night, Ms. Wang felt that her face was a little dry and took it.

In the afternoon, herpes almost covered the whole face. Itching was unbearable, and the cheeks were swollen like a steamed buns. She immediately rushed to the Department of Dermatology, Central South Hospital, Wuhan University, and was diagnosed with allergic dermatitis. After a week of hospitalization, yesterday, Ms. Wang’s facial swelling basically disappeared.
