Perioral dermatitis is a common skin condition often appears as clusters of red bumps or irritation around the mouth, nose, or eyes. The skin may feel tight, itchy, or slightly burning, and because it looks so similar to acne or rosacea, it’s easy to mistake one for the other.
Common triggers include topical steroid creams, heavy or harsh skincare products, fluoridated toothpaste, and even hormonal changes or stress. Sometimes, products meant to soothe your skin can actually make things worse.
The most important thing you can do: avoid self-diagnosing or treating it with acne products. These can irritate the skin further and delay healing.
Perioral dermatitis can take time to calm down, but with the right care plan, it’s absolutely manageable. Our team can help identify the cause and guide you toward clearer, healthier skin.
