A member asked:

What can i do for my perioral dermatitis? tried topical elecon cream, po doxycycline, and topical flagyl with no success. help! :(

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine : It is not feasible to provide a full option without examining you. You may try over the counter multivitamins, in case it is due to nutritional deficiency. If that doesn't help, it would be prudent to see a dermatologist.
