My 12 year old daughter has to wear a mask all day at school unless she is sitting at her desk. This order came in a couple of weeks ago, and two days after the rash started.

Wearing the mask only a few hours per day for 3 days a week, my 3yo suffering eczema above mouth and lickers dermatitis below mouth. Pediatrician says if we can’t control it next step is steroid treatment, and was unwilling to consider mask exemption. So in order to avoid steroids I’d have to pull from preschool. 3 year old toddler Age3LocationPortland, CT
