The protection efficacy of facemasks and respirators has been well documented. The N95 respirator is essential amongst health care workers (HCW) treating COVID-19 patients. Pressure ulcers over the bony prominences of the face have been heavily reported with the usage of non-invasive ventilation face mask. However, pressure ulcers over the dorsum of the nose associated with the usage of N95 respirators have not yet been reported. The duration and proper application of the N95 respirator are essential and should be conveyed to each HCW in order to prevent this morbidity.
