In modern times, protective masks with flexible loops are commonly used to prevent the spread of microorganisms during surgical procedure the constant contact of the stretching bands caused by wearing a mask for several hours' daily causes pressure on this cartilage, leading to painful and erythematous lesions on the skin behind the auricles. Patients and the public now wear masks for extended periods of time. Over time, wearing this mask frequently can cause damage to the ear. Consequently, people regularly switch out their masks to alleviate pressure, increasing their chances of getting infected. Doctors and other healthcare professionals should be aware that continued use may cause damage to the ears and auricles. This article addresses a novel method to alleviate stress on the ear loops of surgical masks and examines the typical ear injuries or pressure injuries on the ear mentioned in literature regarding prolonged mask usage and ways to prevent them.
