Perioral Dermatitis

[YesYesYesYes]

Dermatologist diagnosed me with perioral dermatitis for the first time and prescribed pills and cream. My face broke out shortly after the use of Fresh Coconut Lip Balm, which I thought I loved! Has anyone had any similar reaction using Fresh Coconut Lip Balm or suggestions with perioral dermatitis?

I was diagnosed in august. I use chapstick or Shea Moisture Shea Butter lip balm. I'm on my second round of antibiotics.

My dermatologist had me on antibiotics and a moisturizer with sulfur. It cleared up in a little over a month. She told me to avoid fluoride, because it can trigger a reaction and cause it to break out again.

I have seborrheic derm mostly on my face around my nose. About 20 years ago my scalp was covered and my 3 sons have the same issue. 1.BLUE bottle of Head n Shoulders shampoo for Seborrheic dermatitis, 98% clear. NOT dandruff shampoo. 2. Epsom salt lotion works great on my face, helps lift scales n still moisturizes nicely. I use some anti aging moisturizer, but am careful not to cake it on affected areas. Give these a shot... Everyones different but its working great for 4 of us here. Good luck

That lip balm has three acnegenic ingredients, one irritating ingredient, and fragrance. It’s possible that one or multiple of those bothered you. I have rosacea and sensitive skin, so I have to be pretty intense about my ingredient research! Unfortunately I don’t have any advice for your dermatitis, but I do recommend the website CosDNA if you want to research the safety of the ingredients in your products.

I realized that Tom Ford Foundation Stick was my specific trigger, but I don’t use it or that lip balm, now! 😬 Mortified!
