Suffered from perioral dermatitis in dec 2013. doctor gave me medicines like fluzec etc. cured. but area around mouth still gets red nd feels tender.

Avoid irritants: Perioral dermatitis can cause symptoms for a while in some people.Avoidance of makeup including lipstick, avoiding toothpaste that contains fluoride such as sodium fluoride or monofluorophosphate (MFP), and moisturizers/lotion on the face can help.You may need repeat treatment, but avoid topical steroids because they tend to contribute to the problem (symptoms helped while on it, but then worsen).
