Symptoms of perioral dermatitis 

Perioral dermatitis is a skin disease that is concentrated around
the mouth. Often it starts as a redness that gradually gets worse. Then comes the rash: Red rises and blisters in the pores reminiscent of acne. That the skin scales and burns is also common. Most often the area closest to the mouth is free from redness.
Many people also confuse it with the inflammatory disease rosacea, or adult acne as it is also called, but perioral dermatitis is not as chronic.
Sometimes the skin disease can be centered on the area around the nose or eyes, then it is called the periorific dermatitis.

Who gets perioral dermatitis?

Perioral dermatitis is most common in women in their 20s, 30s. It can occur by itself or as a reaction to using a lot of makeup, strong cleaning products and creams, peeling the skin too much or lubricating itself with strong cortisone cream.

Tips and treatment

Inflammation heals by itself, but it can take anywhere from a few weeks and up to several years.

Doctors can prescribe Tetracycline capsules, an antibiotic used to treat acne, among other things. For some, rosacea treatment helps, but according to Netdoctor, this can just as easily irritate the skin even more.

One prerequisite for inflammation to heal faster is to be careful about what one used for makeup and skin care products. Avoid highly perfumed products, peels, oily creams and oils.

Choose products that are suitable for sensitive skin and allergy sufferers.

Once the perioral dermatitis has healed, it may return within a few years, but then it is uncommon to regain the ailment.
