What Is Perioral Dermatitis?

With celebrities like Brittany Mahomes facing skin problems, there will be many people around the globe who might have the same problem but less information regarding it. So, here we are to raise awareness about the skin issue.

Perioral dermatitis can resemble acne and is frequently mistaken for it. Some patients claim that perioral dermatitis causes them itching or burning. It can spread to the nose, eyes, and, in rare cases, the genitals. This condition can be caused by steroid usage, lifestyle decisions, or other genetic issues.

If you do not treat your perioral dermatitis, it may become permanent. Most instances resolve, but it might take weeks or years. If you receive therapy, your symptoms and rash are likely to resolve significantly sooner. However, there is currently no recognized treatment for perioral dermatitis.
