Common Questions and Answers about Bactroban perioral dermatitis
bactroban
It itches and burns and stings all at the same time. I now believe that my staph infection turned into perioral dermatitis. Is this possible? I have been prescribed bactroban 2% and cephalexin 500mg 3x's a day but they were for the staph infection. Is it going to help with the perioral dermititis? I also found that if I put on Shea butter mixed with coconut oil it helps relieve the burning and itching!! Is this ok to do as well?
Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like perioral dermatitis. Perioral dermatitis is a chronic papulopustular and eczematous facial dermatitis.Treatment consists of oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. A mild soap or soap substitute, such as Dove or Cetaphil should be used for washing. Scrubbing should be avoided.
If the symptoms are not controlled by topical antibiotics,then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult your dermatologist and discuss this with him.

I THINK I HAVE PERIORAL DERMATITIS. ALL OF THE DERMATOLIGIST AROUND MY AREA ARE BOOKED UNTIL NEXT YEAR! WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP THIS GO AWAY!
Even if treated, perioral dermatitis may recur several times. The cause of perioral dermatitis is actually unknown. But strong corticosteroid creams applied to the face can cause this condition while some types of makeup, moisturizers, and dental products may be partially responsible. The steroid creams should be avoided. And on your follow-up appointment, discuss with your dermatologist which moisturizer is best for your skin type and which could not trigger any future outbreak.
I am a 23 year old male and have been suffering from recurring perioral dermatitis for the past 4 months. I went into a local walk-in clinic with a dry, red, inflamed rash near the right corner of my mouth in early April of this year. The doctor told me I had “impetigo” and gave me two small sample tubes of Topicort 0.25% and some pills to treat it with. My skin quickly healed with the cream and pills.
Dear Doctor,
I have gone to see my dermatologist for mild acne on my face and red burning sensation around my mouth. He said 'It's irritated'. I did some internet searching and suspect it's perioral dermatitis. He gave me locoid lipocream (hydrocortisone steroid cream) for irritation around my mouth but after 3 days it's more red, burning and now flaky. I had stop using it and the irritation is even worse.
Hello,
Perioral dermatitis is a chronic papulopustular and eczematous facial dermatitis.It is usually characterized by an uncomfortable burning sensation around the mouth. Itching is not a common symptom.Treatment consists of oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. A mild soap or soap substitute, such as Dove or Cetaphil should be used for washing. Scrubbing should be avoided.
If the symptoms are not controlled by topical antibiotics,then oral antibiotics may be needed.
My question is why would a dermatologist prescribe another topical steroid when this is the very drug that is linked to the cause of perioral dermatitis. Further, do I actually have perioral dermatitis, or could it be something else? The antibiotics I'm on are really causing a lot of heart ache and I'm wondering if I even need them, if this isn't perioral dermatitis?
Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of cheilitis and perioral dermatitis. Avoid licking the lips as saliva evaporates quickly resulting in them being drier than before. Drink plenty of water and take multivitamin supplements and do not apply lipstick or other cosmetic products for some days. Use a humidifier to moisturize the air in your home and apply shea butter or Vaseline on your lips. Eat foods high in calcium, magnesium and flaxseed oil.

Hello,
It can be due to perioral dermatitis. Doxycycline is the preferred antibiotic for perioral dermatitis but minocycline can also be used. In unresponsive and granulomatous forms, oral isoterinoin may also be considered. Pimecrolimus cream can also be used. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist and discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

So I read a bit about perioral dermatitis, and call my dermathologist to ask her about that. She told me my problem actually IS perioral dermatitis, but Scheriderm should be fixing it. But even in the directions for use of the product says it HAS NOT to be used with perioral dermatitis.
I'm desperate. I don't want to continue the treatment with corticoids, but I need a solution and my dermathologist doesn't want to prescribe any antibiotics for me.
Should I change my dermathologist?
