To ease the readers & to deliver the content more efficiently, we will be using rather informal Bahasa Melayu & English in the thread(s) to come. However if you have any difficulty to understand, you can always ask us! 
Sejak selalu pakai mask ni, I perasan ada small bumps & jerawat kecik2 naik dekat dagu dan jawline area. Sebelum ni jarang sangat ada jerawat kat situ! 
Korang macam I tak? Want to know why? Adakah mask punca jerawat annoying tu? Scroll through this thread to find out!

OK let’s start! 
Pernah dengar perkataan MASKNE?
Kalau kita pecahkan perkataan ni, MASK is face mask, while NE is short for acne — a.k.a. cik jerawats!
When combined, MASKNE means jerawat or skin breakout disebabkan pakai mask

So, persoalannya, adakah semua jerawat di bahagian dagu dan jawline adalah maskne? 
Baca sampai habis untuk tahu jawapannya!
Baca sampai habis untuk tahu jawapannya!
We’re back! Sorry! Tergantung pulak. Had to go somewhere tadi 
Now, untuk menjawab soalan di atas, let’s have a look first on bagaimana maskne terjadi
Now, untuk menjawab soalan di atas, let’s have a look first on bagaimana maskne terjadi
Liang pori (pores) tersumbat— bila kita pakai mask, pelbagai kotoran contohnya peluh, minyak & solekan terperangkap pada kulit kita. Lama kelamaan, ini akan menyebabkan pori tersumbat — and this is why jerawat, blackheads & whiteheads tumbuh!
Pembiakan bakteria— Generally, with or without mask, bakteria memang boleh menyebabkan jerawat. But with mask, it gets worse!
Bila pakai mask, haba (heat) & titisan air (water droplets) yang keluar semasa bercakap & bernafas terperangkap dalam mask.
How is this relevant?
Haba & titisan air yang terperangkap menghasilkan persekitaran yang lembap dan suam (warm and humid). Persekitaran ini sangatlah ideal untuk bakteria membiak — which in turn akan menyebabkan jerawat tumbuh dalam kadar yang lebih banyak! 
Geseran (friction) antara mask dan kulit— apabila mask menyentuh permukaan kulit seperti di pipi dan bawah dagu dalam jangka masa yang lama, berlaku geseran antara mask dan kulit muka yang boleh merosakkan lapisan kulit yang paling luar.
What happens when lapisan luar/atas kulit rosak?
Kulit jadi lebih sensitif
Pores lebih senang tersumbat
Bakteria dan kuman lebih mudah membiak
And the end results? Breakouts!

Now, back to the question! 
ADAKAH SEMUA ACNE DI BAHAGIAN DAGU DAN JAWLINE MERUPAKAN MASKNE?
What do you guys think?

The answer is....
TIDAK SEMESTINYA!
Banyak punca lain yang boleh menyebabkan jerawat di bahagian tersebut, and mask is just one of them.
But yes, in this current situation di mana kita pakai mask dalam jangka masa yang lama dan kerap, masks could be the reason why.
