Could stress or my birth control be causing my perioral dermatitis flare ups?it keeps getting worse.what should i wash my face in?see a dermatologist?

Doctor can examine: Persistent dry or chapped skin near or on the lips may be lip eczema, which can be treated like skin eczema, using hydrocortisone cream for a week, plus vaseline or Aquaphor to retain moisture. Lip sunscreen chemicals sometimes can cause an allergic reaction on lips. Other times, a person is a primary lip-licker (it is her habit). Once cracked, lips get irritated by routine foods, juices, saliva.
