GlossaryPerioral Dermatitis

facial rash around mouth, sometimes eyes and nose

It manifests as red, bumpy, and sometimes itchy or burning skin. The exact cause is unknown, but it is often linked to the use of topical steroids, certain cosmetics, and hormonal changes. Treatment usually involves discontinuing the use of topical steroids and other irritants, and may include antibiotics or other medications.
