Question 6

Accepted Answer

Depends: Perioral dermatitis can be allergic, infectious, fungal, or just irritative.  The treatment, therefore, depends on the cause.  Cracked, dry lips (especially at the angles) can often be helped with vaseline alone.  Allergic or irritative can usually be treated with a short course of steroid cream.  If red, blistered, draining, or crusting, you should see a doctor for recommendations.

Accepted Answer

Perioral dermatitis: Perioral dermatitis is a relative of rosacea. It occurs most commonly around the mouth, but can also be around the nose or eyes as well. Because it can be dry or flaky, it is often treated as eczema with topical steroids or heavy moisturizers which make it worse. It is treated with oral antibiotics and topical rosacea medications. Please see your dermatologist.
