Specializes in Infectious Disease

Dermatitis: This is some sort of dermatitis. "Break out" suggests you might be worried about cold sores (oral herpes), but that rarely lasts more than 2-3 weeks. See a doctor; discuss with your primary care provider whether s/he wants to see you or refer you to a dermatologist. Good luck.
