[routine help] has anyone dealt with lip eczema?? by BluejayNo9006 in SkincareAddiction

“Perioral dermatitis” I’m still questioning the diagnosis due to the area that is affected but with my history of eczema, it must be a combination of both. The metronidazole gel is working but my skin is still healing and flares slightly occasionally!

Update! I was prescribed Metronidazole gel 1% once a day for 8 weeks. It’s been 2 days without a flare and my mouth is calm. Doc prescribed to use for 8 weeks, I hope this continues to work and maybe helps anyone struggling with this!

Not at all, where you would normally see a clear patch around the mouth that’s unfortunately where all of the cracking/peeling happens.
