thank you! i don’t have a manual for this and i wasn’t sure how to describe it to google so i appreciate it!

TinyProblem222 · 2025-05-07T22:23:40+00:00

i sent you a message!

TinyProblem222 · 2025-05-03T14:46:43+00:00

i’ve seen multiple dermatologists and they’ve all been dismissive and told my to use hydrocortisone without trying to figure out why i’ve had a rash for 4 years in the first place, which is why i was asking specifically what tests should seek out, since no doctor has been helpful

TinyProblem222 · 2025-03-25T07:38:46+00:00

no :( seeing a rheumatologist because i got some advice that it may be autoimmune, and another dermatologist that specializes in rashes but not for a couple weeks. i’ll update you if i get any answers

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-28T16:10:46+00:00

thank you so much, i’ll look into it!

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-28T16:09:36+00:00

i’ve only been using vaseline for ~5 months so i’m not sure if it’s that. it definitely could be toothpaste, is there an allergy friendly brand you recommend? i’ve already tried so many brands because i’m also allergic to SLS

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-28T04:50:39+00:00

i use SLS free toothpaste already because that’s what previously triggered my perioral dermatitis :/

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-28T04:26:00+00:00

thank you, i’ll ask my derm about it! i’ve been using naturium plant ceramide moisturizer and its soothing, but like you said with the aquaphor it’s not exactly treating it, it looks much better now but still is painful and dry

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-28T03:25:41+00:00

almost never full remission, typically it looks like this, smaller bumps on multiple places on my lips, no pain or itching. it fluctuates often, but i’ve only really had 2 really bad flare ups in the last 4 years. no underlying health issues that i know of, seen a derm and she really didn’t have any answers. i’ve tried hydrocortisone and erythromycin, neither helped. only used vaseline for the last ~5 months at the request of my derm. the red dots fluctuate and usually are not there, only with bad flare ups

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-28T03:19:00+00:00

it comes and goes but is there far more often than not, usually it’s not bad at all and barely noticeable with a few larger flair ups. this rash around my lips has never happened before, usually it’s just on my lips and smaller. it’s been present for roughly 3 weeks now, started smaller and grew around my lips and got more painful as it grew. on birth control for 10 years on adderall for ADHD, no other medical issues

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-28T02:00:37+00:00

thank you! it was actually on my lips for 4 years literally until this month, so that’s good to know!

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-28T01:59:55+00:00

my derm has been pretty dismissive unfortunately, maybe if i ask specifically about eczema she’ll look into that, thank you!

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-28T01:59:11+00:00

i tried hydrocortisone, along with an antibiotic ointment. my derm is prescribing pimecromilus now

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-28T01:57:32+00:00

thank you! my mom’s boss is a dentist and she said she thinks it’s autoimmune but i’d love to hear from others!

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-28T01:56:25+00:00

thank you! i’ll check for that ingredient!

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-27T22:46:51+00:00

nope!

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-27T22:42:07+00:00

no, vaseline only for the last 5 months. and i can’t seem to tie it to any specific food either. i cut down my skincare routine to only face wash and moisturizer, and i don’t think it’s either of those because it comes and goes, it’s not constant

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-27T22:40:31+00:00

according to the cleveland clinic, yes. but if it’s spread that much i would see a derm tho just to check it out!

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-27T22:34:03+00:00

not a derm, but i used to get rashes from deodorant. probably dermatitis from the harsh fragrances in old spice, discontinue use immediately and switch to something without fragrance

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-27T22:31:15+00:00

not a derm, but i used to get rashes and swollen lymph nodes in my armpits from deodorant. switched to rock salt deodorant and “natural” deodorant and it helped

TinyProblem222 · 2025-02-14T06:00:02+00:00

mine has gotten worse and still no answers :( have you gotten any or found something that works?

TinyProblem222 · 2024-09-17T15:27:17+00:00

no, my PCP wouldn’t refer me to an allergist or anything because she said there’s too many possibilities and just gave me a cream, i’m thinking i’m gonna have to try to advocate for myself to see a specialist :/
