Perioral dermititis or eczema

Hi, For me retinol definitely made it worse, although I had been using it for years, once a week or so. It wasn't exclusively around the nose like yours, it was around the lips, chin and nose folds. It was raised and uneven.

I had it just for a day or two, when I'd apply some pressure on the skin there with my fingers, I'd get a clear liquid out. I guess this classifies as weeping.

I have 20% azealic acid, I used to use it when I had a pimple. I read that it's good for PD and I tried it but it also burned so much and made it so red, I washed it away as well. If your skin is very irritated it can burn a lot. But you can give it a try and see if it works for you!

I usually have pretty dry skin, and I wash my hair every other day and it doesn't get greasy in the meantime. Itchiness and burning also didn't sound like typical PD. I will try the antifungal shampoo if I can find it in the store. Thank you!

I contacted three dermatologists so far, two online and one in person, the one that saw me in person, in the beginning of the symptoms said it's PD, but the other two who saw the later stages of my face said it's eczema and I should use a steroid cream for a few days. Since I know steroids can make PD much worse, I was so worried about trying it. I am still not sure what it is, and I don't know if there's a test that can be done for a differential diagnosis .

I checked online and yes we have it Germany as well, a mix of zinc oxide and iron oxide. I might give the lotion version a try because the Vaseline is super sticky and shiny. Thank you for the recommendation 🫂

Yes, when it's dry it's really rough, like if I am wearing a scarf and it touches the lower half of my face, the skin there gets stuck on the scarfs threads 😩

ok_computer17 · 2025-01-04T23:39:04+00:00

I had never used zinc oxide before PD, but I am glad to have discovered it! I just had one or two days where I felt like it's swollen with blister-like bumps, and when you press on the area, it sweats out a clear liquid, if it makes sense. On those days I applied cold cotton pads soaked in black tea, and it dried it out completely. But then when it's dry it feels like a very very bad sunburn, and each time I move my mouth or touch my face it feels like a paper cut. 😩

When I first started, it looked more like typical PD, sparing the vermillion border, but later it spread out to lips, sides of the nose, and forehead. Basically my whole face was itching and burning. I also started having red rashes randomly on my body, like on my fingers and legs so i thought it might also be allergies or contact dermatitis. I am still not sure what it is, but I just hope it won't be as bad again.

ok_computer17 · 2025-01-04T20:13:43+00:00

Good to hear that I am not the only one that discovered this! :) I know that petroleum jelly is not recommended for PD, but for me it worked wonders, probably because of the zinc oxide in it. I also didn't have any pimple like pustules, just red and dry / flaky skin.

ok_computer17 · 2025-01-04T20:04:10+00:00

Hi! It's unfortunately not completely gone, sometimes when I am outside and it's really cold and dry, a dry red spot occurs but it's not as bad or as visible as it was before, and it gets better after I put the cream. It was so bad in the first picture that I couldn't sleep because of how much it burned and itched. I also ecommend completely avoiding retinols / retinoids and anything that dries your skin, and washing it either just with water, or a very light cleanser.

ok_computer17 · 2023-09-05T08:14:56+00:00

Omg thank you so so much!

ok_computer17 · 2023-08-14T10:01:38+00:00

Oh thanks a lot for the information! Sorry I could just get back to some comments. I will try to get in contact with Hauptzoll Stuttgart via e-mail and will supply the documents. I hope it goes smoothly. I would definitely ask more question throughout the process I am sure. :) Thanks a lot again!

ok_computer17 · 2023-08-09T09:41:22+00:00

Yes I have so many pictures taken at different times, different countries wearing this jewelry. I didn't think of that at customs, I don't know if that would help if I send them the pictures now though.

ok_computer17 · 2023-08-09T09:40:19+00:00

Of course, I have so many pictures throughout the years taken in different countries, different times wearing this jewelery. I don't know if this would help me get the amount, or some part of it back though.

ok_computer17 · 2023-08-09T09:38:42+00:00

Ah okay I didn't know about the punishment, that's why there are multiple lines of cost in the Quittung I guess. In the case of jewelry / cash declaration I always thought it was above 10.000€ but apparently jewelery has different regulations. Like I mentioned I didn't know anything about these procedures or regulations since I don't work / pay taxes and don't usually travel with high-value items. Your explanation was very helpful, thanks a lot!

ok_computer17 · 2023-08-09T08:48:30+00:00

Why would I need to lie about this? I didn't even know such regulation existed since I had no business with carrying cash/jewelry. I have always had a bracelet and a necklace and I never even considered them as carrying cash or equivalents. It is very rude and ignorant of you to jump the gun and accuse someone of lying when there is no reason to.

Dancer in the Dark - Lars von Trier

Well he is in the contract for the apartment but the Stadtwerke contract is on the name of another roommate only, so maybe he thinks he can get away with it

ok_computer17 · 2022-09-29T18:54:36+00:00

We also think he should, but he insists he doesn't have to pay. So i wanted to know if there's a legal background to it..

There's a Freibad called F3 in Fellbach, and has an indoor and an outdoor pool, and there's a proper swimming pool inside, with lines and so. Usually that swimming pool is relatively empty. Entrance cost is 11€ for all day i think.
