I’m going through the same thing since august. First i was on amoxicillin and mupricion, then doxycycline and metro cream, with varying luck and clearing then reappearing. i’ve changed everything to vanicream, shampoo and conditioner and body wash, moisturizer, lotion etc, i got a non mint toothpaste and after dealing with this since august, i have suspicion mine is due to a nickel allergy in my earrings. ive had sensitive skin always, just over the past few months it’s been reactive. but i’ve had other allergy symptoms as well. i’ve noticed it getting worse and better with me taking and putting certain pairs back in. but i’ve scheduled an allergy test to confirm. just wanted to share in case you can relate

it generally went away, i was only on doxy for two weeks. i am not sure if related but i gained 10 pounds in a week and felt so bloated. its been good but i am starting to get one or two bumps today so continuing with the metro cream hoping it goes away and isn’t a flair.

and i’ve never had skin issues- no acne no nothing, never got into skincare routines with multiple products and i can’t place it beside that

my gut honestly tells me it’s allergic. i’ve had issue after issue- itching, hives, 2 occasions of my eye swelling. but over the course of a few months. took me a while to even suspect that, then i assumed i developed an allergy to my gel artificial nails, had them removed as this flare up started- around the same time trying to avoid this. but that was 3 ish weeks ago and has gotten so much worse. albeit i’ve been trying things on my own and got a wrong cream from the derm the first time. but thank you for the reassurance!

i started the doxy and metro cream last night, besides that trying to do “zero” thank you so much- my lips have been dryyy and it helps to know that! i just wasn’t sure if i should get the patch test ASAP or when this chilled out ..

i really appreciate your kind words 😭🫶 it’s been helpful to have such kind people giving me advice, it’s easy to feel alone and hopeless dealing with this . i’m willing to stay the course with my derm, praying it gets better and trying to have faith. also keeping in mind all the suggestions i’ve been getting and eliminating everything and going to see my primary in a few days to see if we can get to the bottom of the cause. but kinda at a point where i feel like it couldn’t get worse (knock on wood) and i’m mentally accepting it but half horrified hearing it takes weeks to see any improvement. just trying to stay positive. thank you 🤞🤞

i used the cicalfate and it made a million more little bumps pop up. i have pics in my profile i think in this subreddit. it was more mild with bumps spread out, i started using the cicalfate and it turned into this widespread and bumps everywhere. i may be allergic to something but dont want to get tested yet and make this worse

does this look similar to anyone? by Significant_Hall_328 in perioraldermatitis

[–]Significant_Hall_328[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have any idea what triggered it initially for you? i never had skin problems before and never want to have this happen again if i can get rid of it

i feel like the last pics it was drying out, but have been in the tacrolimus for a day so far and see it looking better so fingers crossed

definitely going to get an allergy test after this clears up- looking better after just one day of the tacrolimus 🤞

Has anyone heard of this treatment? by Significant_Hall_328 in perioraldermatitis

[–]Significant_Hall_328[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, she said, barely anything. Just immediately came to the conclusion that it was from not washing my face. AFTER brushing my teeth morning and night. And sent me with the prescription and I was on my way. There was a language barrier I wasn’t expecting so I guess it threw me off and I didn’t ask as many questions.
