    GlossaryPerioral Dermatitis

    facial rash around mouth, sometimes eyes and nose

    Perioral Dermatitis is a facial rash that typically appears around the mouth, but can also affect the eyes and nose, hence it is sometimes called Periorificial Dermatitis. 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.
