The correct course of action is to get your employer to engage a competent occupational hygienist
The link below will be usefull
Then you need to get yourself to a qualified occupational health doctor. I wouldn't rely on an internet diagnosis

Just as suggestion but could the problem be more akin to wind burn , the constant airflow from the blower unit could be drying your skin out. I suffer from eczema and can get similar symptoms to what your described if I go out in a cold sharp wind.
try the helmet without the blower unit and see if that helps

In post number 42, left pic the material up in side the helmet. What is that material made of. as that must be rubbing on your cheeks I would guess. Worth checking with Optrel as maybe some latex or other material that your skin is sensitive to.

Long shot here, but I remember my dad having a bad allergic skin reaction when my mother started using a different washing powder for the laundry.
Changing what you use to wash the hoodie might be worth a try ?

Those bright lights behind you in the picture in the factory. Are they new? They look like LEDs. White LEDs are basically a UV LED plus tricolour phosphors. (That combination is causing serious issues with wildlife, with all the LED insecurity lighting people are fitting). If there's UV getting out, might there be anyone else exposed, and showing the same symptoms?

could be, you cannot rule anything out, until you have ruled it out. And that is hard to do I am in the middle of something similar myself and it is very hard, especially if you "have done it for years" without a-ny issues.

There shouldn’t be any parts of the PAPR that are capable of causing sentisiation. The standard is strict and optrrl are a reputable brand so I don’t expect any corner Cutting. While I don’t know for sure I suspect it’s not related to the kit

Have you had a blood pressure , heart & lungs health check in the last year or so to prove everything is OK especially if you have had covid ?
Another thing that's come to mind is are you allergic to the plastic used in the new shield .
Re still using the same soap :-
It's not unheard of for the oils , fats & other components in soaps & soap powders to be changed without the manufacturer saying anything .
Could it be worth using a baby grade liquid soap or medicated wash for a few weeks with a couple of new super absorbent fibre cloths to wash & dry your face to see if things still persist ? As well as a baby grade gentle washing powder for your clothes to help you rule a lot of things out. . Check out your washing machine & dryer use a commercial cleaner to clean the washer & clean the sop drawer& door seal by hand as it's something I've had to do because of getting a rare 1 in 500, 000 or more fungal infection . I developed it a few weeks after a second dose of Covid in Feb this year .
Like Parm says seek the help he's suggested .
