Apparently it's an attack of facial spots caused by having to wear a mask.
I can see what they've done, there.
But, oh, I do so wish they hadn't.
Sunday Rest: maskne. Mask comes from the Italian maschera, and quite a long time before that from the Arabic maskharah, clown, from sakhira, mockery.
The Greek word akmē means, well, acne (or summit). The swap from the m to the n was originally a mistake.
