r/perioraldermatitis

he has seen the dermatologist and was prescribed nizoral and tacrolimus and used it for months but it didn’t seem to work at all :/ he then tried to only use tacrolimus and stopped using all our skincare products (moisturizers, cleansers, etc) and no improvement still. he is trying 0 therapy rn to see if it will help but there doesn’t seem to be much change….

we are waiting for his next derm appointment but the lack of availability is just frustrating so we were hoping someone on here recognizes what this condition is and what we could do to fix it!

it started off last year as a small spot and slowly spreaded to the left side and then under his mouth. he says its not itchy much but i do notice there are some bumps on the red patch. any ideas??

I don't know, maybe this will help others, but I'm currently breaking out after a year and a half of clearance. Horrible stress and the use of nasal steroids for allergies caused another flare-up.

I still need to use sunscreen when I'm out here in California regardless of my perioral dermatitis.

This is an all mineral zinc oxide sunscreen with no chemical UV boosters that might irritate perioral dermatitis.

It's also water resistant 80 minutes.

I ordered mine off of yes style, now that I'm having another breakout, I ordered a few more bottles.

It's super lightweight and doesn't leave a cast, they use nano zinc oxide, I kind of feel like zinc oxide helps those of us with perioral dermatitis due to its antimicrobial properties.

It's fragrance free, dye free and alcohol free and comes in a shea butter vehicle, not sure that oily skinned people will enjoy the texture.

I have dry skin and live in a dryer climate in Southern California.
