PERIORAL DERMATITIS
TREATMENT FOR RASHES AROUND THE MOUTH
Perioral dermatitis is a type of rash that occurs around the mouth. It may be caused or made worse by sunlight, corticosteroid creams and dental products that contain cinnamon or fluoride. Patients with rosacea are also more prone to this condition.
Treatment of perioral dermatitis usually consists of topical metronidazole and/or an oral antibiotic. While recurrences may occur, most patients achieve significant improvement within a couple of months of therapy.
Learn more about perioral dermatitis at the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology website.

ROSACEA
Rosacea is a common skin disease that causes redness and red pimple-like breakouts on the face. It begins with a tendency toward “flushing and blushing” and may then progress to a persistent redness of the central face.
PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder characterized by raised lesions with silvery scale that most often occur on the scalp, elbows, knees and lower back. It can range from a very mild, hardly noticeable rash to a severe eruption that covers large areas of the body.
PATCH TESTING
Patch testing is used for patients with dermatitis to find out whether substances coming into contact with the skin are causing or aggravating their condition.
