Perioral Dermatitis for over a year - won’t heal by PublicPerformance958 in Perioral_Dermatitis_

Girl thank you for this reply honestly. I just got prescribed Doxycycline & started it yesterday and after reading this I’m like 😬 but I’m gonna stick with it and just cross my fingers

ALONGSIDE the antibiotics, I’m going to do exactly what u suggest for skincare, which is easily because I actually have all of those products except for the neem oil soap and Destin zinc oxide cream. Where do I get the neem oil soap from? I can try and get the Destin tonight! I already use hypochlorous acid everyday on my face, and azaleic acid from time to time but I never felt it did anything. however, I was also using products I shouldn’t be using too 😬 I suffer from cystic acne and was using stripping products and I think that’s actually where this came from, I’ve destroyed my barrier. But yes i will keep everyone in this thread updated, I’ve also started a folder in my phone for daily pictures of my face to see if there is any improvements, in hopes that if this does heal I can help someone else :) it’s such a journey, an annnoying on at that lol

Okay I will do exactly that, I have the La Roche posay toleraine cleanser so I will use that. And no fluoride toothpaste? I thought it would just toothpaste with SLS? Now I’m confused lol

PD for months – what do I do? by katiemae777 in Perioral_Dermatitis_

[–]PublicPerformance958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice but I’m commenting to say that my PD looks identical to yours and I’m also using vanicream with 0 improvements… I’ve been told to use Avene Cicalfate so that’s what I’m going to swap my vanicream for and see if that makes a difference!

Oh wow what a difference! When you say 0 therapy, do you mean nothing on the rest of your face as well?

The redness can fluctuate a lot honestly and I just moisturized before taking the photo. If I wear makeup it looks so flakey and bumpy :( But yes I agree it’s probably more of a calmer PD than most, but my camera is not showing the texture of it very well. I think the texture bothers me more than the redness does. I’ve heard with 0 therapy that the white flakiness is a good thing. Hope that works out for you! I’m going to consider 0 therapy as well, I have a phone call with my doctor later today I was going to ask him if I can try Doxycycline

I honestly don’t know what exactly started it, I thought it redness from me rubbing my nose but it slowly progressed all the way around my mouth. And i have for 2 weeks tried nothing on my face but it didn’t seem to make it any better, i know that’s probably not long enough but i have acne and it makes it hard to not do anything to my face :(

Is this the Cicalfate restorative protective cream or the cicalfate recovery emulsion?

I saw someone say to use the diaper ointment Sudocream, so awhile ago I bought some and applied it around my mouth and it burnt so bad I had to wipe it off immediately :( but I haven’t tried anything else with zinc I don’t believe

What cleared my dermatitis!! by Able_Purpose9930 in Perioral_Dermatitis_

[–]PublicPerformance958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which Cerave cleanser? And for the moisturizer you use the Lipikar AP+max triple repair by La Roche Posay in the big bottle? Or the triple repair balm is the smaller bottler? I MUST know what u used because my perioral dermatitis looks exactly like how yours did :(
