Hello JW84 and welcome to the Changing Faces community.

Thank you for posting your question here about face masks and I am guessing people do not have a specific answer. It sounds like it has been tricky balancing needing to wear a mask for your role in the NHS with your haemangioma and I'm really sorry to hear this is causing you pain and discomfort. I hope you have managed to find a solution since your post. If not, I wondered if this BBC article on making faces masks is of any help to you bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52609777.

I wish you all the best and thank you for the amazing work you are doing in the NHS.
