Dr. Lim, Your video has been super helpful.....finally I know what is happening with my skin around my mouth & my eyes. I went to an allergist, spent three months, and over $1000 in co-pay for two different types of allergy patch tests with no relief and no diagnosis. After watching this video and following your advice I FINALLY got a diagnosis and a cure. A million thanks!!!!!!
Thanks for always sharing treatments to the common issues of the skin. Can you please talk about what options do we have to treat the spider web vanes on legs. Are they treatable and to what extent?
I haven’t had a flare up since I was a child but these darn masks have brought back something that I thought was not even apart of my reality anymore 😭 darn you corona.
This is so unbelievable!! How can I ever explain to the world that a female herbal Dr Omoye dromoye3@gmail.com cured I and my boyfriend from our 6 years Dermantitis. I feel so happy and excited today..
I thank God Almighty for send Dr Vincent Mba for helping me get cure, you can email him dr.vincentmba02@gamil.com, his a life saver and his herbal cure works so perfectly well. You can try and see for yourselves, I was so scared of it and afraid but happy now because am cured, save yourself first because health is wealth and life.
Finally, a dermatologist who understands the dangers of topical steroids. I suffer from steroids withdrawal for a long time. Dermatologists kept on putting me on topical steroids making it all worse. Thank you for putting this out.
Contact Dr.Anii on TH-cam he got the best cure for Rosacea virus sharing my testimony with tears of joy my God will Continue to bless you keep saving life Sir...
Turmeric paste works really will for non specific rashes as well. Mix water with turmeric power and apply to face for 15 min. each day. In a week you will see great improvement.
@@nidanida6067 Yes. im lighter skinned and after washing the paste off, all the areas i have the rash are stained. it doesn't look good but its fading off quickly rn
I am in absolute tears of hope, sadness, and thankfullness - my 2 year old has such a bad case and we just saw a dermatologist today - I wish I had seen your video earlier 😣. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge 🙌🙌🙌🙌
So crazy I’ve had random flare up of this my whole life and never thought it was anything except dry skin🙊 I even get rashes from some sunscreens! This is crazy and very good to know to know how to treat my skin. I think I’m having a flare up rn because I’m using a vitamin c, retinol, and salicylic acid🤦🏼♀️
I experienced perioral dermatitis after 3 weeks of retinol use. Get a prescription for metronidazole. After just a few days my rash is almost gone. I'm thrilled with the results.
Thank you so much for this video, I’ve been reading horror stories online for hours and this is the only resource I’ve found to be helpful and that makes the most sense! Hopefully my skin heals soon but at least for now my mind is at ease 🙏🏼
I haven't finished watching the video yet. I just paused to say "I love you so much and the wealth of knowledge you share with us so invaluable to lay man" XoXo

I got perioral dermatitis in April and it was around my eyes too. No history of steroid use on my face and I rarely wear heavy makeup although I did begin using elidel in March to treat seborrheic dermatitis that had spread to my nose area. The rash cleared with antibiotics although I do still get a few bumps around that area but no dryness or redness that I originally had. I also had a rash on my neck so I was patch tested and tested positive for nickel, gold, propylene glycol, linalool, and MCI/MI allergies. I’ve since removed all offending skincare and makeup items from my routine. I believe I am predisposed to it as I do suffer from mild rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis and the elidel (which has propylene glycol in it), stress from college, and allergies created the perfect storm.
It can be a digestive issue if on the face. Antibiotics also make the issue worse and harm your gut so plz do not take unless its a life death situation! Once u stop antibiotics it will come back.i have had this problem for 6 yrs and still have it...
This last summer I broke out exactly like this on my face and was diagnosed impetigo by 2 doctors and 1 dermatologist. Finally after no improvement I found another dermatologist who suggested it was an allergic reaction. It’s been rough... was on antibiotics for 2.5 months straight, life was miserable, and I had to take 2 months off of work because it was so frightful-looking and itchy. I’ve found that corn syrup brings it on! It was only after a second derm told me it was an allergic reaction that I started paying attention to my diet more. I’m so glad I’ve found you and this video. I also had severe acne at the time, and this rash in addition to my acne make me question if life was worth living at the time.

I haven’t been properly diagnosed, but I’m 99.9% positive that this I what I’ve been dealing with for the last year. Since COVID-19 hit and we’ve had to wear masks, I’ve noticed that I get flare ups of little red bumps all around my mouth and they extend a little to my cheeks sometimes. They’re never painful, but they itch sometimes. This whole time I thought it was just eczema caused by the masks, but the cream I was prescribed only calms it down for a day or two and it comes right back. Thank you for this video, it was very informative and helped me start the process of getting this under control!
I couldn’t believe the title on this!!! I had to tell my dr what I had and he prescribed a cream which did not have any impact at all. Here’s how I got rid of mine. I made a paste of turmeric and water and sometimes just rubbed the turmeric straight onto my skin. Yes it makes a mess, yes I was orange but hey it works. Now I’ll watch your video😂 and thank you for all your videos, one very happy sub in Northern Ireland 😀
Thanks so much for posting. I tried the tumeric paste after reading your post (Id just finished a 7 day course of antibiotic 4xdaily with no improvement to my perioral dermatitis) . After 3 days now of applying tumeric during the day and a small amount of coconut oil at night I have had amazing results. Thank you so much again. This will be my go-to treatment in the future. I think the tumeric dried up the blisters and also has an antiseptic quality which stopped further spread. It took away the itch immediately after using it and although it felt a little tight and yes I was quite yellow around the area, it was well worth it.
Melanie k. Hi. Did it work to you? I have this condition 2 years now and a dermatologist gave me some antibiotics and nothing worked. She told me I have much oil in my skin but i think she was wrong.
Holy hell, do you have any clue how mind-blowing this is to me? I saw a Derm up here in Canada, maybe 3-5 years ago now.. and the Derm was told to be one of the best in the province. He said to me in his 79 year-old voice, "I've never seen such a thing in my life, I'm going to go to bed for years trying to figure this out. But I retire next week, so I'll be useless you at that point." He never did call me, of course, but the fact that I just recalled this event _yesterday_ is all that much more ironic. Had to tell ya a lil story, sorry for the W.O.T. Bless you and your works, my word. 💕
I have a bad flare up right now because of my steroid cortisone creams. This is the most helpful video on this topic on TH-cam! Thank you so much for this!
Giving thanks to Doctor Ani John is something I will always take personal because he brought me back to my full health he is a good man and trustworthy so kind to every patient, contact Dr.Ani John on TH-cam channel he channel now for help
I have been fighting this condition for YEARS. Sometimes it’s worse, sometimes it is less. Never “better”. I thought it was steroid induced, so did my GP, but the derm called it autoimmune progesterone POD. Gave me ivermectin and elidel. I have been using these for over a year, and it is as bad as ever right now. Next derm appointment is Jan 2021. I am at a loss. I have tried every single treatment recommended. I think I will deal with this for my whole life.
@@oscar_jjuarez5266 thank you for your encouragement! It is not super good, but probably better than it was when I made the original comment. I have had a course of antibiotics for a separate issue and that helped, of course, but you can’t stay on antibiotics forever! I am also a healthcare worker, so having to wear a mask for 10-12 hours at a time certainty hasn’t helped my skin. 🙁
This video was incredibly useful and informational. I have had POD twice in the last 2 years. I know the most recent cause was definitely toner, make up and eleuphrat ointment that i was using to treat a rash on my face. Even though i've had POD before, I didn't know that steroids can bring on a flare. That information is so good to know now and i will aim to avoid using any steroids in the future as much as possible. My current POD looks rather different than the photos in the video. I suspect i have a particularly bad case of it. The area of skin below my lower lip and down to my chin blistered. Then the blisters popped by themselves and i was left with a yellow crust over the area. I thought it was a staph infection and took myself to a GP. He diagnosed it as POD straight away and gave me a script for doxycycline. Since i've been taking the antibiotics, (4 days now) the POD has gotten worse. It's spread in bumps and blisters to random areas around my nostrils, chin, cheeks and jawline. My skin feels really hot, oily (wet from the yucky blisters) and uncomfortable. I have definitely stopped applying toner, make up and eleuphrat ointment onto my face completely. I'm a registered nurse working in aged care and since the POD came on, I've worked 2 x 8 hour shifts wearing a surgical mask the whole time. I needed to vent how gross this condition feels and how embarrassed i feel about it. I'm starting to wonder how long the ABs take to work, if i was misdiagnosed and if the surgical mask wearing could be making things worse... Can i just bury my head in a sandpit for the next 2-3 months? Ick.
Antibiotics are a major cause of this because they can alter the microbiome allowing yeasts to proliferate on the skin like malassazia and candida which is usually the cause. Antihistamines play a huge role too because they affect H1 receptors that also control sebaceous glands which then don't secrete properly causing further skin drying and damage, that allows yeasts that feed off the fat of your cells and microbes to enter deeper into the dermis, then the immune system wants to react. It's a horrible viscous cycle mostly caused by psychotic MDs.
I don't use makeup, don't put any steroids, use cetafil, don't use any frangranced products, but have been getting blowups more than twice a year, and just don't know why it happens!
Super helpful video. I was diagnosed with perioral dermatitis yesterday and have started one of the oral antibiotics you listed, and I am so much hoping it works. Thank you!
I had this rash just recently , My face is always pristine , I hadn't eaten anything with gluten in it for about 3 years and the month of November Thanksgiving month I started eating and reincorporating food with gluten in it into my life again , I got tore up people don't risk it. This is one of the worst situations I've ever experienced. I cleared it by using a Benadryl topical cream & the Benadryl pill and a natural soap and Shea butter. My face is back to normal thank God .

Dr Handsome, I'm loving the new skin treatment topic. It's good to know and I'm thankful you're around. Many of us have skin conditions and have no I how to prevent them from flaring up or treating it. Luckily you're around! 😉
Lunar Lioness I have been using the Mexican cream called gelmicin which i put a little bit on everyday bc if I skip three days in a row it comes back. The rash itches when I have a flare up and it’s so red and embarrassing.
Dr. Cutie, :-) I was wondering where you had gone. Good to see you back. This was an interesting topic. Who knew there was so much to know about rashes.
I have a muzzle rash that I believe came from 1% habitual use of hydrocortisone for about a month. I was applying to the area around my lips to soothe irritation from lip cosmetics. This has been such a help! I understand that my makeup is the culprit now.
I just cleared up a bout of perioral dermatitis, I knocked everything back to a gentle creamy cleanser and moisturised with la Roche posay cicaplast. It seems to have gone, it’s taken almost 3 months. Pretty sure it must have been due to taking my preventative steroid inhaler for asthma more over the winter months.
I kicked up my daily skin care. I'm in my 40s and started using all these oils, creams and a toner, oh and sunscreen. My face started stinging and then came the rash. Now I know it's the sunscreen and toner. May switch back to the basics and just use an my reg cream and an under eye cream. Also gonna look into a mineral sunscreen
I treated mine with Aztec Indian Healing Clay mixed with Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. I put it on the rash everyday once a day and let it dry. I also applied Lotrimin Af (athletes foot cream) to the rash morning and night. That took it away in 5 days. Hope it helps someone.
That's because these facial conditions are usually fungal.

Hey Dr Lim - thanks for sharing. I wanted to comment as I have had PD flare ups for the past few winters, and my experience seems to differ from some of the common examples you were sharing, and may resonate with your viewers. I haven't ever used any type of steroid cream or tablets, so I know that hasn't been the cause, however through trial and error, I believe that it is down to damage to the skin barrier, caused (usually) by over exfoliation. The first time I got it, it was after using LE Cleanse and Polish with a pretty aggressive use of the muslin cloth twice or more per day (and this is consistent - I have tried the C&P a couple of times since, thinking it was something else but this always gives me PD :-/). The most recent time, was through a particularly cold spell last winter, and introduction of a fairly strong AHA - though this time, it was mostly around my eyes, rather than the mouth). Each time I think the skin barrier protection was reduced, either through chemical or physical exfoliation, and when I removed the irritant, it gradually improved but never went away entirely and was extremely sensitive to flaring up/spreading after any irritation with too hot water, knocking any papules with a flannel etc. The first time, I cleared it up with a prescription of Clindamycin cream (the alcohol free formulation) but obviously the PD has recurred several times since and I have been since informed that this cream is not prescribed for PD any more. Also, as I am sure a lot of your viewers would, I really, REALLY would prefer not to go down the oral antibiotic route as I have spent so long trying to build a healthy gut flora, and antibiotics just wreck that (and often cause other probs, like candida - ugh! Frying pan...fire...) The main thing I have found that has given improvement, almost overnight, after reading a few forums are products that contain quite high concentrations (~15-40%) of zinc oxide - such as mineral sunscreen/suncreen sticks or diaper creams, such as Boudreaux Butt Paste Max Strength (do you know why that would be?). This is recommended along with violet extract (which I haven't personally tried), but both are peppered with PD survivor stories on Amazon reviews. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. I have also found that fatty acids and ceramides in my products has helped my skin recover the barrier. (I tried an azalaic acid and this had no effect, ditto not wearing makeup, unfortunately! I think air-con, heating, harsh wind and cold climate also played a part, as I rarely get PD in summer). Anyway, that's my experience. It really is such a dreadful condition - there's so little help available and it is a huge knock to people's confidence, so anyone suffering who reads this far, I really empathise, and hope it gets better soon. (And try the Butt Cream ;p)
Mine flares up from my medication, specifically lamotragine. and eating habits. Also stress and hormonal imbalance play a HUGE role. Taking vitamins like omega 3’s, vitamin D and calcium as well as reducing dairy have helped me. And not using any face wash, moisturizer etc that had sodium sulfate in it. Hope this helps!

Well I have been suggesting neem powder to people but I would not ever do that while pregnant because it can cause uterine contractions and therefore cause a miscarriage
Search Sarah's day TH-cam channel. She had it while pregnant and shared tips in her videos. I don't remember if it completely went away until after birth though. But she made it better!
Hi....Dr Lim, how do you think about Ordinary skin care product ( one of the DECIEM products ) which is so popular right now as Aesthetic Dermatologist.?
I’m going through this now. I stopped putting steroid cream on a week ago and the rebound I’m having is ridiculous, my face is on fire. I hope you’re right and it calms down soon
I've been having perioral dermatitis for almost a year now, at first it was misdiagnosed as acne which probably made it a million times worse (the treatment, not the misdiagnosis), but I have now had proper treatment for it for five month and while it has gotten better, it isn't going away. I have not used any make up or skincare products or whatsoever since I got it. And now someone decides to tell me that inhaling corticosteroids makes it worse... like. I've been inhaling this stuff for years. I had to tell my dermatologist all the medication I was taking. I feel betrayed. ... though it's not like I can stop using it, so... Maybe it's because I'm not getting oral antibiotics. We tried one, but I got like the worst side effect that only 1 in 10000 patients get (severe joint pains) and then my dermatologist said, we're just gonna go with creams. Also, it's better for me to not take oral antibiotics, because my digestion always gets messed up for months. I'm not seeing my dermatologist again until march, but if it hasn't improved by then, I'm probably gonna ask her for oral antibiotics. I'm just really frustrated by now and also I miss using make up, but I don't wanna use it if there's a chance that'll make it worse!
Domt do antibioti s again!! They really mess ur gut up and u will have other problem! By the wat perioral dermatitis is a digestive issue so need to fix the root cause and not damage ur gut with more antibiotics
@@s.b9118 The sad thing about this is, I actually got "diagnosed" with bacterial overgrowth (or however you spell that) two days ago, but on the other hand, I have to take antibiotics right now because of a lung disease I have, yay. ^^ I hope we can repair my gut microbiom after that though.

Morning from Spain ! My PD was caused by steroids and the only thing that helped was Elidel cream. It’s a horrible condition that not many non medical people talk or know about. Thanks & have a good day ☀️😀
A great video and explanation of this horrid condition. I'm ringing my GP first thing. I was using hydrocortisone creams on and off for years! I once actually asked my GP if that was a factor with problems I'm having to be told no. I actually feel relived so much, as it's really been getting worse and it's effecting my life to the point I don't want to leave the house. Once again thanks
Thank you Dr Lim, I believe I've been suffering for almost two months with perioral dermatitis but have been unable to get an appt. with my dermatologist. After much research this was my conclusion so I stopped using makeup, toners, creams, etc. and went to urgent care.The doctor there didn't believe all my research and didn't know about this condition and was trying to prescribed a cortisone cream which I refused. I can't see my dermatologist for another couple of weeks but after more research found a product called EMUAID which has been amazing, ( I just wanted to let you and other subscribers know if they don't have a good dermatologist). Thank you for always having great informative videos!!
@Kathleen Zottarelli - I, too, have been suffering with PD. I went to my GP first, who prescribed a steroid cream (YIKES! - bad idea!). I've been to the dermatologist twice, who gave me hydrocortisone cream (which I did not use) and an antibiotic cream which exacerbated it. The doxycycline he prescribed makes me vomit. I just read about EmuaidMax today and I'm ordering it NOW. Thank you for sharing!!
Hello. Thanks for a video. It does look easy treatment for me. I am 48, I never had any skin problems in my life! Out of nowhere I got perioral dermatitis 3 years ago and it keeps coming back. I got rashes around my mouth, little under one eye and little under my nose. I thought it's food allergy at first, so treated myself with hydrocortisone, which didn't help. I went to dermatologist, he said right away that it's perioral dermatitis and prescribed me antibiotics for 3 month and a steroid cream (Elidel) , which helped right away in 4 days. After I finished taking everything, problems came back. I went to another dermatologists, she said it's related to stress and she told me to quit steroid cream, because it's too strong and dangerous. She prescribed me azaleik acid (Finacea), which doesn't do anything. I stopped using after one week, because it makes it worse. Now what??? What should I use? I am sick and tired... 😒😖

I had this exact rash around my mouth and nose for 23 years. I used Lotrisone. and it worked. I was in the nursing field for those 23 years. When I retired, the rash went away and never returned. I don’t wear makeup. It was the gloves.
Sweet Thang I used it literally for 23 years. I sretired and it’s been 10 years now and I haven’t had to use Lotrisone once after about a week of retiring. And I was so embarrassed sometimes because you walk around with red bumps all around your mouth and nose , sometimes worse than other times and being gay, I got a lot of jokes and it hurt. I won’t say them but you can guess. But, yeah, Lotrisone.
I was taking doxycycline, but only a very low dose because I was also doing light therapy for my all over eczema. Nothing seemed to help my Perioral Dermatitis and Ocular Dermatitis, also my Dermatologist was not very helpful for treating this condition I had. Then I found this product at Target from the company Cocokind, I was using the product called My Matcha moisture stick, within an hour the inflammation was going down, and it felt so good, so I went back and bought another one for my eyes. I highly recommend this product. Only $8, and it’s so good!!
My derm has me on soolantra and tretinoin. Mainly for acne rosacea but I have POD on my chin. Should I avoid putting these meds on the affected area? Thanks for talking about this! Great video.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I'VE BEEN TO 3 DIFFERENT DERMATOLOGISTS AND ALL HAVE PRESCRIBED STEROIDS 😭😭😭 None of them have listened to me when I was telling them all this information. I don't know what to do or how to find a dermatologist that really knows how to treat this problem and not make it worse
This explains so much, I kept thinking my rash (around my eyes, mouth and nostrils) was due to makeup or exfoliation, or that they were pimples, and patch testing didn't explain anything. I used a hydrocortisone lotion on one spot just to see what would happen and it cleared it up and thought "hooray!" and 3 days later it came right back, yikes. Thanks for this video!
Happiness is all i see now i never thought that i will be cured from herpes virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly virus (HSV) for the past 4 years now, i had spent a lot of money going from one place to another, hospitals have been my home everyday residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day i was searching through the internet i saw a testimony on how Dr.MBA helped someone in curing his Herpes virus,quickly i copied his contact and i spoketo him , he told me that there is no medical hospital that has the cure for herpes virus. I was surprise when i heard that from him, he ask me to do some certain things which i did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal remedy to me which he did then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal remedy behold i was free from this herpes virus, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now please BROTHER, SISTER, MOTHER and FATHER, he is a great man, i own him return. if you are having a similar problem just Contact him on: dr.mbaherbalhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp him: +2348054027386 HE CAN ALSO CURE DISEASES LIKE *STROKE *DIABETICS *ENDOMETRIOSIS *HEPATITIS B *CANCER *PREGNANT ISSUES *PERIOD ISSUES *FIBROIDS please share this around so you can also save more souls too
Queen of allergies weighing in... What has helped me in a flare: Pyungkang Yul ATO lotion and Pyungkang Yul ATO cream and La Roche-Posay cicaplast baume. (And Cerave healing lotion isn't too bad.) Everything else is counter-productive for me. Unfortunately, everyone is different, so it's often hard to solve these things.
To anyone who has a child with this: my son developed POD from using topical steroids prescribed by his doctor for "eczema", which his new pediatrician doesn't think was ever eczema. We've been around and around with self treatment for a bit, and then mupirocin and lamisil, which caused everything to be worse, to now oral clarithromycin and coconut oil, prescribed by his new pediatrician. It's only been overnight, but the inflammation seems to be slightly lessened, and his skin isn't so dry and irritated. The topical antibiotic caused a sensitivity to his already irritated skin, so now we're trying to purge that along with steroids. Also, I've learned that highly occlusive things like vasoline and aquafor seem to aggravate it, at least In his case. So, just take your kiddo to his doc right away, and save yourself a headache. He has a dermatologist appt in 2 weeks for follow up and to establish a good skincare routine to hopefully prevent further issues. Hope this will help someone!
Welcome back!! Great to see your well and to watch another interesting video! A real godsend! Had a weird skin itchy inflammation in my neck and forehead after few days at the beach (almost gone after lots of moisturizing with natural oil). This series are going to be great!...As always! Thank you! Cheers! :)
Hey, I really need your help. Each week I get PD. I don't use any steroids, no hormonal pills. I do wear makeup every day but my routine didn't change for a year. I don't wear particularly any heavy makeup. For makeup removal I use Bioderma the sensibio range. Skincare I use niacinemade 10% and zin 1% from the Ordinary. Any idea what it can be from? Thanks so so much. Really appreciate any tips.
Mine started as contact dermatitis immediately after using the Niacinamide from the Ordinary. Ultimately, I know believe the Inkey & Ordinary lines are best left to professionals that know specifically how to use their very powerful products. The average consumer does not. It wrecked my skin.
This time last year I developed rosacea. Horrid. Bright. Painful rosacea. I had never had it before, ever. I would wake in the night scratching my face bloody. I saw a dermatologist. Three weeks on a $50 for a 15ml for a week tube, not much change. Four weeks on a $15 for 30ml tube, not much change. Revive” for six weeks, fairly good results, but still breaking out. Problem is, I’m highly sensitive to ABs. So, 3 inconclusive biopsies later, I am on 12weeks of doxycycline. 9 weeks in and my skin is clearing finally. I feel like I have the start of bad ‘flu all the time and fevers, but it seems to be working. I have worn NO makeup for a year, argh. I only started using skincare after 3 months as I just couldn’t bear it anymore. Clarins is my best friend. I swear I have aged 10years.... A year altogether dealing with this. With a face like a itchy cranberry pudding. What caused it? They don’t know. Might have been “stress” - has been stressful having it.... I am part of a unique sub group, fair skinned, thin skinned, Northern European Caucasian, post menopausal ( lord how I hate that term) women. I’m surprised the word “neurotic” didn’t creep in as well..(!) oh lucky me and my genetic jackpot!!🃏🃏🃏🃏
Thank you so much for making a video on this! I’ve been suffering with this since March and it keeps flaring. I’m curious about the “hidden rash” you mentioned, I’m in school to be an esthetician and I’ve had 3 cases of contact dermatitis on my arms from using the products on clients. I used the line on myself for 2.5 months and got POD, maybe there’s contact dermatitis hiding behind it?? Hmm something to mention on my next check up. I’m allergic to doxycycline so I’m on topicals (adapalene and metrogel) which aren’t really effective /:
@@spirittouchrecords2785 stuck to Cetaphil & Lo Roche Posay cleansers and moisturizers. Use Panoxyl every now and then as a mask. Use the same makeup and products, changing products often and using “natural/clean products” were the main irritants. Hope this helps.

Dr Lim should be a movie star 😍 This was very informative. Thank you! I have started to use a prorascea cream because I can't see a derm. It works wonders!
This is so unbelievable!! How can I ever explain to the world that a female herbal Dr Omoye dromoye3@gmail.com cured I and my boyfriend from our 6 years Dermantitis. I feel so happy and excited today..
Ahhhhh thank you Dr Davin you are the BEST. I have had this so bad recently (although i have had this on and off for years, i never knew the peeling around my mouth and nostrils was due to this), but despite my antibiotic course, it still is hanging around. Any deviation in routine or attempt to re introduce brings it on strong. I guess i need to do a longer course of antibiotics. I was considering going to my local dermatologist but it isn't in my budget right now, so thank you so much for making such an informative video.
Hi Dr Lim, I love your content - so helpful. I believe I have perioral dermatitis as well as some large hormonal blind pimples on my cheeks and head. My GP prescribed cephalexin (4 tabs a day for 5 days ) as well as Azelic Acid gel and a salicylic acid cleanser. I’m only on day two but my skin is so red and looks worse! Do you think this is the right way to treat perioral dermatitis? Is it always a bad idea to try and clear it with a steroid cream? Thank you I’m advance.

This is why I go to a homeopathic dr. He never tells me he doesn’t know why things are happening, puts me on all natural herbs/supplements instead of harmful medications and heals me from the inside out.😊
Hi Dr. Lim - thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. This video helped me with confirming my self-diagnosis which led me to the doctor for a course of antibiotics. I was using an occlusive moisturizer which I washed off right away. Then when looking up more info about it, I saw that you authored the info page on the topic from the ACoD! Cheers
Hey! I've been getting peri-oral dermatitis for about 20 years I generally get a bout or 2 per year. I've discovered that any type of sulfur-based cleanser or cream will cause the rash (even derivatives) and salicylates. For me, using glycolics with a barrier repair cream containing antibacterial minerals can sometimes save me a round of tetracycline. Everyone's different.
Antibiotics are a major cause of this because they can alter the microbiome allowing yeasts to proliferate on the skin like malassazia and candida which is usually the cause. Antihistamines play a huge role too because they affect H1 receptors that also control sebaceous glands which then don't secrete properly causing further skin drying and damage, that allows yeasts that feed off the fat of your cells and microbes to enter deeper into the dermis, then the immune system wants to react. It's a horrible viscous cycle mostly caused by psychotic MDs.
Thanks so much Dr Lim. I have developed POD over the last year and finally I see a optimistic path forward. I just started the doxycycline and am psyched after hearing your advocacy for it that it wil help me.
Okay soooo I’m stressing out about my skin. I wanna say about a week ago my skin had broken out in a super itchy rash mainly around my chin and under my nose. I have no idea what could’ve caused the flare up and I’m starting to get really depressed because I can’t seem to get over this. My chin has developed a “crust” of dry skin, whatever I put on it, it dries/soaks it up. The rash has gone way down because I’ve been taking Benadryl to help the inflammation and redness and itchiness. If anyone has any advice at all I would really appreciate it. The thing is I don’t even know if it is dermatitis, I thought it was just an allergic reaction to something but not I’m skeptical.
I have never used heavy or even any make ups or steroids on my face, and got POD in my 40s suddenly. And that after I have used nothing but organic lotions and sunscreens for over 2 decades. I believe POD comes from the inside somehow, possibly has to do with the gut flora, or hormonal change. I have always had super clear skin too! Since I barely ever use makeup, the area was always able to breathe and it never got better. I have to use desodine ointment daily in order to keep it under control. Very sad as no dermatologist so far could help me, and all the causes you mention do not apply to me.

I think it's a shame that you're not suggesting some natural products for people who don't want to use synthetic medications .... I wish for some of those people you could suggest an alternative such as neem powder or neem tincture . I think it's wonderful that you're trying to help people here and do it for free on TH-cam but some of them really would like some natural alternative suggestions
Hi Dr Lim, Great video - Thank you. Last month is the first time I've ever had periocular dermatitis. But I have seen the one around my nose before. After sorting through my makeup products I think the culprit may have been a mattifying primer (containing Salicylic acid) which gave me the the undereye rash! The problem is that I have been using products suitable for acne-prone skin which have irritated some parts of my face that may be drier now. My GP prescribed a cream for it but seriously considering the anti-biotic option as it's been affecting me for a few weeks now.
I got rid of my perioral dermatitis by simply not using fluoride toothpaste anymore. Not sure what brought it on but it started during the summer and I’d been using more sunscreen than usual. I do not wear makeup on a regular basis, never have. Also, I’d been using Flonase, which is a corticosteroid. The rash was only around my mouth. Very odd. I was prescribed an antibiotic and it didn’t help.
great video, and very informative as always! Is there a way to tell the difference between seborrheic dermatitis and perioral dermatitis (apart from steroid use)? They seem to appear in similar areas. I get very sore and red, dry eyelids, but also sometimes down my nasolabial folds for example. Thanks dr!
my doctor rang me and i explained about sore red around eyes flare up and he prescribed infection eye drops to use over a week, but it's like it's not doing anything and the redness is still there and sometimes fades or comes up more red at times. i feel like i should ring back and ask about oral antibiotic maybe to help clear it up better.
I've had a flare up of this rash for the first time in my life since lockdown started. I havent worn make up in over two months and have never been prescribed steroids. It was more severe around my exam time however I still wake up with a few red bumps here and there :((((
Sahar, same here. I’ve never had PD before. I saw a derm and he told me he’s been seeing a lot more cases since the pandemic outbreak, partly due to increased stress.
I am on doxycycline for my pod and today I went to the doctor for an ear ache. The doctor gave me steroids. ( oral) Will this make my face worse? Please help.
@@melissajoinermusic thank you for answering back. I’ve been dealing with this for about a year now. I’ve been doing research and it seems like doxycycline is the way to go. Did you breakout more while on the medication?
Dr. Lim, Your video has been super helpful.....finally I know what is happening with my skin around my mouth & my eyes. I went to an allergist, spent three months, and over $1000 in co-pay for two different types of allergy patch tests with no relief and no diagnosis. After watching this video and following your advice I FINALLY got a diagnosis and a cure. A million thanks!!!!!!

So crazy I’ve had random flare up of this my whole life and never thought it was anything except dry skin🙊 I even get rashes from some sunscreens! This is crazy and very good to know to know how to treat my skin. I think I’m having a flare up rn because I’m using a vitamin c, retinol, and salicylic acid🤦🏼♀️
Too many acids/ actives will ruin your skin barrier.
Mine was caused by spf too 😭 I tried mineral and chemical so not sure which one it was but it's cause such bad PD
Yeah, I also used vit-c , and other acid based creams and got lots of red bumps on my😂 face.
I experienced perioral dermatitis after 3 weeks of retinol use. Get a prescription for metronidazole. After just a few days my rash is almost gone. I'm thrilled with the results.
Thank you so much for this video, I’ve been reading horror stories online for hours and this is the only resource I’ve found to be helpful and that makes the most sense! Hopefully my skin heals soon but at least for now my mind is at ease 🙏🏼

SAME
I got perioral dermatitis in April and it was around my eyes too. No history of steroid use on my face and I rarely wear heavy makeup although I did begin using elidel in March to treat seborrheic dermatitis that had spread to my nose area. The rash cleared with antibiotics although I do still get a few bumps around that area but no dryness or redness that I originally had. I also had a rash on my neck so I was patch tested and tested positive for nickel, gold, propylene glycol, linalool, and MCI/MI allergies. I’ve since removed all offending skincare and makeup items from my routine. I believe I am predisposed to it as I do suffer from mild rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis and the elidel (which has propylene glycol in it), stress from college, and allergies created the perfect storm.
Do you still use elidel ? And if so how well did it work for you ?
will gomez She mentioned she has an allergy to propylene glycol and the eledel contributed to her rash.
It can be a digestive issue if on the face. Antibiotics also make the issue worse and harm your gut so plz do not take unless its a life death situation! Once u stop antibiotics it will come back.i have had this problem for 6 yrs and still have it...

This last summer I broke out exactly like this on my face and was diagnosed impetigo by 2 doctors and 1 dermatologist. Finally after no improvement I found another dermatologist who suggested it was an allergic reaction. It’s been rough... was on antibiotics for 2.5 months straight, life was miserable, and I had to take 2 months off of work because it was so frightful-looking and itchy. I’ve found that corn syrup brings it on! It was only after a second derm told me it was an allergic reaction that I started paying attention to my diet more. I’m so glad I’ve found you and this video. I also had severe acne at the time, and this rash in addition to my acne make me question if life was worth living at the time.

I experienced perioral dermatitis after 3 weeks of retinol use. Get a prescription for metronidazole. After just a few days my rash is almost gone. I'm thrilled with the results.
I haven’t been properly diagnosed, but I’m 99.9% positive that this I what I’ve been dealing with for the last year. Since COVID-19 hit and we’ve had to wear masks, I’ve noticed that I get flare ups of little red bumps all around my mouth and they extend a little to my cheeks sometimes. They’re never painful, but they itch sometimes. This whole time I thought it was just eczema caused by the masks, but the cream I was prescribed only calms it down for a day or two and it comes right back. Thank you for this video, it was very informative and helped me start the process of getting this under control!

Mine brought on by mask wearing too
I couldn’t believe the title on this!!! I had to tell my dr what I had and he prescribed a cream which did not have any impact at all. Here’s how I got rid of mine. I made a paste of turmeric and water and sometimes just rubbed the turmeric straight onto my skin. Yes it makes a mess, yes I was orange but hey it works. Now I’ll watch your video😂 and thank you for all your videos, one very happy sub in Northern Ireland 😀

Thanks so much for posting. I tried the tumeric paste after reading your post (Id just finished a 7 day course of antibiotic 4xdaily with no improvement to my perioral dermatitis) . After 3 days now of applying tumeric during the day and a small amount of coconut oil at night I have had amazing results. Thank you so much again. This will be my go-to treatment in the future. I think the tumeric dried up the blisters and also has an antiseptic quality which stopped further spread. It took away the itch immediately after using it and although it felt a little tight and yes I was quite yellow around the area, it was well worth it.
I'm going to try this! Heck, I've tried everything else it can't hurt. Is there a specific time to leave it on?
Melanie k. Hi. Did it work to you?
I have this condition 2 years now and a dermatologist gave me some antibiotics and nothing worked. She told me I have much oil in my skin but i think she was wrong.
Holy hell, do you have any clue how mind-blowing this is to me? I saw a Derm up here in Canada, maybe 3-5 years ago now.. and the Derm was told to be one of the best in the province. He said to me in his 79 year-old voice, "I've never seen such a thing in my life, I'm going to go to bed for years trying to figure this out. But I retire next week, so I'll be useless you at that point."
He never did call me, of course, but the fact that I just recalled this event _yesterday_ is all that much more ironic.
Had to tell ya a lil story, sorry for the W.O.T. Bless you and your works, my word. 💕

I have been fighting this condition for YEARS. Sometimes it’s worse, sometimes it is less. Never “better”. I thought it was steroid induced, so did my GP, but the derm called it autoimmune progesterone POD. Gave me ivermectin and elidel. I have been using these for over a year, and it is as bad as ever right now. Next derm appointment is Jan 2021. I am at a loss. I have tried every single treatment recommended. I think I will deal with this for my whole life.

@@oscar_jjuarez5266 thank you for your encouragement! It is not super good, but probably better than it was when I made the original comment. I have had a course of antibiotics for a separate issue and that helped, of course, but you can’t stay on antibiotics forever! I am also a healthcare worker, so having to wear a mask for 10-12 hours at a time certainty hasn’t helped my skin. 🙁
This video was incredibly useful and informational. I have had POD twice in the last 2 years. I know the most recent cause was definitely toner, make up and eleuphrat ointment that i was using to treat a rash on my face. Even though i've had POD before, I didn't know that steroids can bring on a flare. That information is so good to know now and i will aim to avoid using any steroids in the future as much as possible.
My current POD looks rather different than the photos in the video. I suspect i have a particularly bad case of it. The area of skin below my lower lip and down to my chin blistered. Then the blisters popped by themselves and i was left with a yellow crust over the area. I thought it was a staph infection and took myself to a GP. He diagnosed it as POD straight away and gave me a script for doxycycline. Since i've been taking the antibiotics, (4 days now) the POD has gotten worse. It's spread in bumps and blisters to random areas around my nostrils, chin, cheeks and jawline. My skin feels really hot, oily (wet from the yucky blisters) and uncomfortable. I have definitely stopped applying toner, make up and eleuphrat ointment onto my face completely.
I'm a registered nurse working in aged care and since the POD came on, I've worked 2 x 8 hour shifts wearing a surgical mask the whole time.
I needed to vent how gross this condition feels and how embarrassed i feel about it.
I'm starting to wonder how long the ABs take to work, if i was misdiagnosed and if the surgical mask wearing could be making things worse...
Can i just bury my head in a sandpit for the next 2-3 months? Ick.
Antibiotics are a major cause of this because they can alter the microbiome allowing yeasts to proliferate on the skin like malassazia and candida which is usually the cause. Antihistamines play a huge role too because they affect H1 receptors that also control sebaceous glands which then don't secrete properly causing further skin drying and damage, that allows yeasts that feed off the fat of your cells and microbes to enter deeper into the dermis, then the immune system wants to react. It's a horrible viscous cycle mostly caused by psychotic MDs.
Ffs so I can’t even cover it with foundation and concealer 😂

It will but you must take it for three months any shorter it comes back quickly.

Thank you so much, this is completely brilliant and so helpful.
I have a muzzle rash that I believe came from 1% habitual use of hydrocortisone for about a month. I was applying to the area around my lips to soothe irritation from lip cosmetics. This has been such a help! I understand that my makeup is the culprit now.
I just cleared up a bout of perioral dermatitis, I knocked everything back to a gentle creamy cleanser and moisturised with la Roche posay cicaplast. It seems to have gone, it’s taken almost 3 months. Pretty sure it must have been due to taking my preventative steroid inhaler for asthma more over the winter months.
I kicked up my daily skin care. I'm in my 40s and started using all these oils, creams and a toner, oh and sunscreen. My face started stinging and then came the rash. Now I know it's the sunscreen and toner. May switch back to the basics and just use an my reg cream and an under eye cream. Also gonna look into a mineral sunscreen

I treated mine with Aztec Indian Healing Clay mixed with Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. I put it on the rash everyday once a day and let it dry. I also applied Lotrimin Af (athletes foot cream) to the rash morning and night. That took it away in 5 days. Hope it helps someone.
So which one actually worked?

That's because these facial conditions are usually fungal.

Hey Dr Lim - thanks for sharing. I wanted to comment as I have had PD flare ups for the past few winters, and my experience seems to differ from some of the common examples you were sharing, and may resonate with your viewers.
I haven't ever used any type of steroid cream or tablets, so I know that hasn't been the cause, however through trial and error, I believe that it is down to damage to the skin barrier, caused (usually) by over exfoliation.
The first time I got it, it was after using LE Cleanse and Polish with a pretty aggressive use of the muslin cloth twice or more per day (and this is consistent - I have tried the C&P a couple of times since, thinking it was something else but this always gives me PD :-/).
The most recent time, was through a particularly cold spell last winter, and introduction of a fairly strong AHA - though this time, it was mostly around my eyes, rather than the mouth).
Each time I think the skin barrier protection was reduced, either through chemical or physical exfoliation, and when I removed the irritant, it gradually improved but never went away entirely and was extremely sensitive to flaring up/spreading after any irritation with too hot water, knocking any papules with a flannel etc.
The first time, I cleared it up with a prescription of Clindamycin cream (the alcohol free formulation) but obviously the PD has recurred several times since and I have been since informed that this cream is not prescribed for PD any more. Also, as I am sure a lot of your viewers would, I really, REALLY would prefer not to go down the oral antibiotic route as I have spent so long trying to build a healthy gut flora, and antibiotics just wreck that (and often cause other probs, like candida - ugh! Frying pan...fire...)
The main thing I have found that has given improvement, almost overnight, after reading a few forums are products that contain quite high concentrations (~15-40%) of zinc oxide - such as mineral sunscreen/suncreen sticks or diaper creams, such as Boudreaux Butt Paste Max Strength (do you know why that would be?).
This is recommended along with violet extract (which I haven't personally tried), but both are peppered with PD survivor stories on Amazon reviews. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
I have also found that fatty acids and ceramides in my products has helped my skin recover the barrier. (I tried an azalaic acid and this had no effect, ditto not wearing makeup, unfortunately! I think air-con, heating, harsh wind and cold climate also played a part, as I rarely get PD in summer).
Anyway, that's my experience. It really is such a dreadful condition - there's so little help available and it is a huge knock to people's confidence, so anyone suffering who reads this far, I really empathise, and hope it gets better soon. (And try the Butt Cream ;p)
Cheers for sharing, Davin Lim
Glad to see you back!
Thank you for making these videos, Dr. Lim. I learn a lot!!
You are indeed welcome. Davin Lim
I literally have never taken steroids, and I don’t wear makeup so I’m so confused why I have this!
Mine flares up from my medication, specifically lamotragine. and eating habits. Also stress and hormonal imbalance play a HUGE role.
Taking vitamins like omega 3’s, vitamin D and calcium as well as reducing dairy have helped me. And not using any face wash, moisturizer etc that had sodium sulfate in it. Hope this helps!
Antibiotics are a major cause of this because they can alter the microbiome allowing yeasts to proliferate on the skin like malassazia and candida which is usually the cause. Antihistamines play a huge role too because they affect H1 receptors that also control sebaceous glands which then don't secrete properly causing further skin drying and damage, that allows yeasts that feed off the fat of your cells and microbes to enter deeper into the dermis, then the immune system wants to react.

Well I have been suggesting neem powder to people but I would not ever do that while pregnant because it can cause uterine contractions and therefore cause a miscarriage
Search Sarah's day TH-cam channel. She had it while pregnant and shared tips in her videos. I don't remember if it completely went away until after birth though. But she made it better!
Thank you!! I just started doxycycline. Praying it works for good. You gave me hope ! Thank you
did the antibiotics help with your recovery?
Hi....Dr Lim,
how do you think about Ordinary skin care product ( one of the DECIEM products ) which is so popular right now as Aesthetic Dermatologist.?
What would you do if Erythromycin stopped working?
Am so grateful to you DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam, for curing my Candida albican overgrowth within 14days, with he's natural supplement💯💯
I get this when I try a new toothpaste, and then it take a long time to reside. So I have to go to natural/organic/fluoride free toothpaste.
I didn't know topical steroids had flouride!!
Interesting! I'm always trying out new toothpastes! I'll have to keep tabs on this. Thanks for mentioning it.
I use baby toothpaste bcz i am afraid my previous toothpaste ingredients
I’m going through this now. I stopped putting steroid cream on a week ago and the rebound I’m having is ridiculous, my face is on fire. I hope you’re right and it calms down soon
I've been having perioral dermatitis for almost a year now, at first it was misdiagnosed as acne which probably made it a million times worse (the treatment, not the misdiagnosis), but I have now had proper treatment for it for five month and while it has gotten better, it isn't going away. I have not used any make up or skincare products or whatsoever since I got it.
And now someone decides to tell me that inhaling corticosteroids makes it worse...
like.
I've been inhaling this stuff for years.
I had to tell my dermatologist all the medication I was taking.
I feel betrayed.
... though it's not like I can stop using it, so...
Maybe it's because I'm not getting oral antibiotics. We tried one, but I got like the worst side effect that only 1 in 10000 patients get (severe joint pains) and then my dermatologist said, we're just gonna go with creams. Also, it's better for me to not take oral antibiotics, because my digestion always gets messed up for months.
I'm not seeing my dermatologist again until march, but if it hasn't improved by then, I'm probably gonna ask her for oral antibiotics.
I'm just really frustrated by now and also I miss using make up, but I don't wanna use it if there's a chance that'll make it worse!
Domt do antibioti s again!! They really mess ur gut up and u will have other problem! By the wat perioral dermatitis is a digestive issue so need to fix the root cause and not damage ur gut with more antibiotics
@@s.b9118 The sad thing about this is, I actually got "diagnosed" with bacterial overgrowth (or however you spell that) two days ago, but on the other hand, I have to take antibiotics right now because of a lung disease I have, yay. ^^
I hope we can repair my gut microbiom after that though.
Antibiotics are a major cause of this because they can alter the microbiome allowing yeasts to proliferate on the skin like malassazia and candida which is usually the cause. Antihistamines play a huge role too because they affect H1 receptors that also control sebaceous glands which then don't secrete properly causing further skin drying and damage, that allows yeasts that feed off the fat of your cells and microbes to enter deeper into the dermis, then the immune system wants to react. It's a horrible viscous cycle mostly caused by psychotic MDs.
I wish every doctor could be as YOU ARE
Giving thanks to Doctor Ani John is something I will always take personal because he brought me back to my full health he is a good man and trustworthy so kind to every patient, contact Dr.Ani John on TH-cam channel he channel now for help
Can you talk about glutathione please I want to know from a good MD his point of view :)
Morning from Spain ! My PD was caused by steroids and the only thing that helped was Elidel cream. It’s a horrible condition that not many non medical people talk or know about. Thanks & have a good day ☀️😀
No problems... this is a super common rash. When I was working in general dermatology I use to see 7- 10 cases a day... seriously.
A great video and explanation of this horrid condition. I'm ringing my GP first thing. I was using hydrocortisone creams on and off for years! I once actually asked my GP if that was a factor with problems I'm having to be told no. I actually feel relived so much, as it's really been getting worse and it's effecting my life to the point I don't want to leave the house. Once again thanks
Same here
GP's are not Specialists!
Thank you Dr Lim, I believe I've been suffering for almost two months with perioral dermatitis but have been unable to get an appt. with my dermatologist. After much research this was my conclusion so I stopped using makeup, toners, creams, etc. and went to urgent care.The doctor there didn't believe all my research and didn't know about this condition and was trying to prescribed a cortisone cream which I refused. I can't see my dermatologist for another couple of weeks but after more research found a product called EMUAID which has been amazing, ( I just wanted to let you and other subscribers know if they don't have a good dermatologist). Thank you for always having great informative videos!!
Welcome. Davin Lim
@Kathleen Zottarelli - I, too, have been suffering with PD. I went to my GP first, who prescribed a steroid cream (YIKES! - bad idea!). I've been to the dermatologist twice, who gave me hydrocortisone cream (which I did not use) and an antibiotic cream which exacerbated it. The doxycycline he prescribed makes me vomit. I just read about EmuaidMax today and I'm ordering it NOW. Thank you for sharing!!
Hello. Thanks for a video. It does look easy treatment for me. I am 48, I never had any skin problems in my life! Out of nowhere I got perioral dermatitis 3 years ago and it keeps coming back. I got rashes around my mouth, little under one eye and little under my nose. I thought it's food allergy at first, so treated myself with hydrocortisone, which didn't help. I went to dermatologist, he said right away that it's perioral dermatitis and prescribed me antibiotics for 3 month and a steroid cream (Elidel) , which helped right away in 4 days. After I finished taking everything, problems came back. I went to another dermatologists, she said it's related to stress and she told me to quit steroid cream, because it's too strong and dangerous. She prescribed me azaleik acid (Finacea), which doesn't do anything. I stopped using after one week, because it makes it worse. Now what??? What should I use? I am sick and tired... 😒😖

I had this exact rash around my mouth and nose for 23 years. I used Lotrisone. and it worked. I was in the nursing field for those 23 years. When I retired, the rash went away and never returned. I don’t wear makeup. It was the gloves.
P.s. my Family Doctor had no clue what caused it and I had to obtain the Lotrisone another way. It was the only thing that worked.
Maybe because of the mask??
ACD, possible latex type 4... patch testing needed
Lotrisone worked? But that's a steroid and anti-fungal. I thought steroids caused this?
Sweet Thang I used it literally for 23 years. I sretired and it’s been 10 years now and I haven’t had to use Lotrisone once after about a week of retiring. And I was so embarrassed sometimes because you walk around with red bumps all around your mouth and nose , sometimes worse than other times and being gay, I got a lot of jokes and it hurt. I won’t say them but you can guess. But, yeah, Lotrisone.
I was taking doxycycline, but only a very low dose because I was also doing light therapy for my all over eczema. Nothing seemed to help my Perioral Dermatitis and Ocular Dermatitis, also my Dermatologist was not very helpful for treating this condition I had. Then I found this product at Target from the company Cocokind, I was using the product called My Matcha moisture stick, within an hour the inflammation was going down, and it felt so good, so I went back and bought another one for my eyes. I highly recommend this product. Only $8, and it’s so good!!
My derm has me on soolantra and tretinoin. Mainly for acne rosacea but I have POD on my chin. Should I avoid putting these meds on the affected area? Thanks for talking about this! Great video.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I'VE BEEN TO 3 DIFFERENT DERMATOLOGISTS AND ALL HAVE PRESCRIBED STEROIDS 😭😭😭 None of them have listened to me when I was telling them all this information. I don't know what to do or how to find a dermatologist that really knows how to treat this problem and not make it worse
This what really happening on me right now ... and it's really itchy and painful
Same here...it's embrassing
sir, such a wonderful explanation . Really happy of finding you.
This explains so much, I kept thinking my rash (around my eyes, mouth and nostrils) was due to makeup or exfoliation, or that they were pimples, and patch testing didn't explain anything. I used a hydrocortisone lotion on one spot just to see what would happen and it cleared it up and thought "hooray!" and 3 days later it came right back, yikes. Thanks for this video!
Shirgavi ?!?!
Since pregnant women can't take majority of what's recommended how would you treat it in them???
Happiness is all i see now i never thought that i will be cured from herpes virus again.

I was surprise when i heard that from him, he ask me to do some certain things which i did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal remedy to me which he did then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal remedy behold i was free from this herpes virus, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now please BROTHER, SISTER, MOTHER and FATHER, he is a great man, i own him return. if you are having a similar problem just Contact him on:

Thank you so much. Finally found out what happened to my face.
Welcome. Very common rash.
Queen of allergies weighing in... What has helped me in a flare: Pyungkang Yul ATO lotion and Pyungkang Yul ATO cream and La Roche-Posay cicaplast baume. (And Cerave healing lotion isn't too bad.) Everything else is counter-productive for me. Unfortunately, everyone is different, so it's often hard to solve these things.
To anyone who has a child with this: my son developed POD from using topical steroids prescribed by his doctor for "eczema", which his new pediatrician doesn't think was ever eczema. We've been around and around with self treatment for a bit, and then mupirocin and lamisil, which caused everything to be worse, to now oral clarithromycin and coconut oil, prescribed by his new pediatrician. It's only been overnight, but the inflammation seems to be slightly lessened, and his skin isn't so dry and irritated. The topical antibiotic caused a sensitivity to his already irritated skin, so now we're trying to purge that along with steroids. Also, I've learned that highly occlusive things like vasoline and aquafor seem to aggravate it, at least In his case. So, just take your kiddo to his doc right away, and save yourself a headache. He has a dermatologist appt in 2 weeks for follow up and to establish a good skincare routine to hopefully prevent further issues. Hope this will help someone!
Welcome back!! Great to see your well and to watch another interesting video! A real godsend! Had a weird skin itchy inflammation in my neck and forehead after few days at the beach (almost gone after lots of moisturizing with natural oil).

@@drdavinlim I have dandruff and my dermatologist. Prescribed steroid drops for my scalp. Can that cause issues with pd?
Hey, I really need your help.
Each week I get PD. I don't use any steroids, no hormonal pills. I do wear makeup every day but my routine didn't change for a year. I don't wear particularly any heavy makeup. For makeup removal I use Bioderma the sensibio range. Skincare I use niacinemade 10% and zin 1% from the Ordinary. Any idea what it can be from?
Thanks so so much. Really appreciate any tips.
Mine started as contact dermatitis immediately after using the Niacinamide from the Ordinary. Ultimately, I know believe the Inkey & Ordinary lines are best left to professionals that know specifically how to use their very powerful products. The average consumer does not. It wrecked my skin.
This time last year I developed rosacea. Horrid. Bright. Painful rosacea. I had never had it before, ever. I would wake in the night scratching my face bloody. I saw a dermatologist. Three weeks on a $50 for a 15ml for a week tube, not much change. Four weeks on a $15 for 30ml tube, not much change. Revive” for six weeks, fairly good results, but still breaking out. Problem is, I’m highly sensitive to ABs. So, 3 inconclusive biopsies later, I am on 12weeks of doxycycline. 9 weeks in and my skin is clearing finally. I feel like I have the start of bad ‘flu all the time and fevers, but it seems to be working. I have worn NO makeup for a year, argh. I only started using skincare after 3 months as I just couldn’t bear it anymore. Clarins is my best friend. I swear I have aged 10years.... A year altogether dealing with this. With a face like a itchy cranberry pudding. What caused it? They don’t know. Might have been “stress” - has been stressful having it.... I am part of a unique sub group, fair skinned, thin skinned, Northern European Caucasian, post menopausal ( lord how I hate that term) women. I’m surprised the word “neurotic” didn’t creep in as well..(!) oh lucky me and my genetic jackpot!!🃏🃏🃏🃏
Thank you so much for making a video on this! I’ve been suffering with this since March and it keeps flaring. I’m curious about the “hidden rash” you mentioned, I’m in school to be an esthetician and I’ve had 3 cases of contact dermatitis on my arms from using the products on clients. I used the line on myself for 2.5 months and got POD, maybe there’s contact dermatitis hiding behind it?? Hmm something to mention on my next check up. I’m allergic to doxycycline so I’m on topicals (adapalene and metrogel) which aren’t really effective /:
Have u got rid of it? Erythromycin worked for me always but now it stopped working and Im screwed. Seems nothing helps now
@@spirittouchrecords2785 stuck to Cetaphil & Lo Roche Posay cleansers and moisturizers. Use Panoxyl every now and then as a mask. Use the same makeup and products, changing products often and using “natural/clean products” were the main irritants. Hope this helps.

What brand?
Omg this is soo helpful thanks! Would it be ok to use the antibiotic such as tetracycline and a topical gel (erythromycin) at the same time? Thanks
Ahhhhh thank you Dr Davin you are the BEST. I have had this so bad recently (although i have had this on and off for years, i never knew the peeling around my mouth and nostrils was due to this), but despite my antibiotic course, it still is hanging around. Any deviation in routine or attempt to re introduce brings it on strong. I guess i need to do a longer course of antibiotics. I was considering going to my local dermatologist but it isn't in my budget right now, so thank you so much for making such an informative video.
You are welcome.. some times a little knowledge can be... you know the saying. Stay SAFE, Dr Davin Lim
Hi Dr Lim, I love your content - so helpful. I believe I have perioral dermatitis as well as some large hormonal blind pimples on my cheeks and head. My GP prescribed cephalexin (4 tabs a day for 5 days ) as well as Azelic Acid gel and a salicylic acid cleanser. I’m only on day two but my skin is so red and looks worse! Do you think this is the right way to treat perioral dermatitis? Is it always a bad idea to try and clear it with a steroid cream? Thank you I’m advance.

Welcome, Davin Lim. Brisbane Dermatology. Australia.
This is why I go to a homeopathic dr. He never tells me he doesn’t know why things are happening, puts me on all natural herbs/supplements instead of harmful medications and heals me from the inside out.😊
He doesn’t, though. Otherwise he would publish those findings. If he hasn’t, then he’s just making money.
That's the way to go! 👏🎯👍
Very helpful video! I will probably refer to it again. Thanks Doc!
What mg of doxycycline do you recommend?
Hi Dr. Lim - thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. This video helped me with confirming my self-diagnosis which led me to the doctor for a course of antibiotics. I was using an occlusive moisturizer which I washed off right away. Then when looking up more info about it, I saw that you authored the info page on the topic from the ACoD! Cheers
Hey! I've been getting peri-oral dermatitis for about 20 years I generally get a bout or 2 per year. I've discovered that any type of sulfur-based cleanser or cream will cause the rash (even derivatives) and salicylates.
For me, using glycolics with a barrier repair cream containing antibacterial minerals can sometimes save me a round of tetracycline.
Everyone's different.
any particular one that you use?
Candice Tuchlinsky can you share which creams you’re using during a bout? I hate taking the tetracycline.

Thanks so much Dr Lim. I have developed POD over the last year and finally I see a optimistic path forward. I just started the doxycycline and am psyched after hearing your advocacy for it that it wil help me.
Did it work?
Okay soooo I’m stressing out about my skin. I wanna say about a week ago my skin had broken out in a super itchy rash mainly around my chin and under my nose. I have no idea what could’ve caused the flare up and I’m starting to get really depressed because I can’t seem to get over this. My chin has developed a “crust” of dry skin, whatever I put on it, it dries/soaks it up. The rash has gone way down because I’ve been taking Benadryl to help the inflammation and redness and itchiness. If anyone has any advice at all I would really appreciate it. The thing is I don’t even know if it is dermatitis, I thought it was just an allergic reaction to something but not I’m skeptical.
Please look at some of my comments in the areas above yours as I don't want to have to keep repeating myself
i have pd also i pit calamine lotion if it flares up
I have never used heavy or even any make ups or steroids on my face, and got POD in my 40s suddenly. And that after I have used nothing but organic lotions and sunscreens for over 2 decades. I believe POD comes from the inside somehow, possibly has to do with the gut flora, or hormonal change. I have always had super clear skin too! Since I barely ever use makeup, the area was always able to breathe and it never got better. I have to use desodine ointment daily in order to keep it under control. Very sad as no dermatologist so far could help me, and all the causes you mention do not apply to me.

@@gardensofthegods and which are you providing ?
Hi Dr Lim,
Great video - Thank you.
Last month is the first time I've ever had periocular dermatitis. But I have seen the one around my nose before.
After sorting through my makeup products I think the culprit may have been a mattifying primer (containing Salicylic acid) which gave me the the undereye rash!
The problem is that I have been using products suitable for acne-prone skin which have irritated some parts of my face that may be drier now.
My GP prescribed a cream for it but seriously considering the anti-biotic option as it's been affecting me for a few weeks now.
I got rid of my perioral dermatitis by simply not using fluoride toothpaste anymore. Not sure what brought it on but it started during the summer and I’d been using more sunscreen than usual. I do not wear makeup on a regular basis, never have. Also, I’d been using Flonase, which is a corticosteroid. The rash was only around my mouth. Very odd. I was prescribed an antibiotic and it didn’t help.
great video, and very informative as always! Is there a way to tell the difference between seborrheic dermatitis and perioral dermatitis (apart from steroid use)? They seem to appear in similar areas. I get very sore and red, dry eyelids, but also sometimes down my nasolabial folds for example. Thanks dr!
Best explained in person ... that is a consultation with examination. DL
my doctor rang me and i explained about sore red around eyes flare up and he prescribed infection eye drops to use over a week, but it's like it's not doing anything and the redness is still there and sometimes fades or comes up more red at times. i feel like i should ring back and ask about oral antibiotic maybe to help clear it up better.
I am so happy I found you...I needed this info!! Thank you!!!
I've had a flare up of this rash for the first time in my life since lockdown started. I havent worn make up in over two months and have never been prescribed steroids. It was more severe around my exam time however I still wake up with a few red bumps here and there :((((
Sahar, same here. I’ve never had PD before. I saw a derm and he told me he’s been seeing a lot more cases since the pandemic outbreak, partly due to increased stress.
Wearing a mask made mine flare. I guess because the occlusion and humidity irritated the skin barrier.
