Type 2 rosacea significantly impacted by wearing a facemask every day at work (past 8+ months)

Since I've had to wear a mask every day to work I've developed bad rosacea on my cheeks - both redness and papules and some pustules (exactly where my masks lays). It is itchy and often burns. I previously was using Paula's Choice Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser both AM & PM and First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream AM & PM for about 2 years along with the Paula's Choice BHA which had both improved my previously sensitive skin so much. I'm so frustrated that after finally finding a routine that was working I'm having this reaction. I suspect that First Aid Beauty may have changed an ingredient in their Ultra Repair Cream because my sister's skin also flared at the same time after we both received a new jar this fall so I've cut that out and tried to go back to basics with Cerave products to try to repair my barrier.
