Perioral Dermatitis treatment in Mexico City

Perioral dermatitis is a skin rash that appears around the mouth and, at times, near the nose or eyes. It presents as small bumps or redness in a characteristic area of the face.

How it presents:

• Small reddish papules around the lips
• Redness, scaling, or mild burning
• A strip of healthy skin next to the edge of the lips

Associated factors: It is linked to the prolonged use of certain creams, cosmetics, or products on the face, among other triggers.

Who to see?: The dermatologist is the right person to distinguish it from acne or other facial rashes; in children the pediatric dermatologist is involved, and the general practitioner can provide initial guidance. It is worth having it evaluated by a professional before applying treatments on your own.
