Avatar f tn It is symetrical all the way round my mouth about 2 inches out both sides form my mouth, all around my chin, up to the bottom of my nose. Doctors said he doesnt know, and never got back to me. I very rarely eat carrots, have stopped eating ketchup, i drink 5 pints of water a day now, to flush my system out. I have A-Z vitamins (started a month ago) and nothing is working. I cant use fake tan, as it builds up on my yellow skin and makes it even more darker, foundation does the same.
Avatar m tn Perioral dermatitis like acne is a chronic papulopustular and eczematous facial dermatitis. It appears around the nose, mouth and eyes. 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. The standard treatment is a course of antibiotic Like Tetracycline. If the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist and discuss this possibility with him.
Avatar n tn In irritant contact dermatitis there is skin irritation, including inflammation, swelling of the area, and warmth. The rash will be confined to the specific area that came into contact with the offending agent.Eczema is a common disorder in infants and is associated with dry and itchy patches of skin. I sincerely advise you to consult a dermatologist/pediatric dermatologist and discuss these possibilities with him.Pls don,t apply anything without consulting as it may aggravate the condition.

Avatar f tn I have eczema on the skin around my mouth and even on my lips. Nothing seems to work. I recently noticed that after eating anything with tomatoes, even ketchup, causes my eczema around my mouth to get worse than it already is. So I have eliminated it from my diet for almost a year now. I have even started using organic toothpaste without fluoride and sodium lauryl sulfate.
Avatar f tn I realise that my eczema gets worse when i get my allergies, it starts with the skin around my mouth getting gradually itchy, sometimes with vesicle fomation on my lips, and the next day my eczema gets worse and my mouth would look darker than usual. Am on mild daily anti-histamines as prescribed by a dermatologist and am using a hydrocortisone cream for the eczema around my lips. I would like to know about the connection between my skin allergies and the eczema.
Avatar f tn My son, now 4 has very sensitive skin and eczema. After many steroid prescriptions in the past we switched to a new MD who takes a holistic approach and is very knowledgeable about alternative treatments. His blood was tested for vitamin D3 levels and they found a deficiency. He now takes D3 as well as fish oil daily (liquid, flavored). This has helped a lot in controlling flair-ups on his body. He recently got the redness around his mouth, the same "Bozo" mouth described above.
Avatar f tn So, if anyone else is having this side effect from treatment...try Aquaphor for around the eyes and facial areas. If that doesn't work, try plain old A&D ointment because I have had some luck with that too. As of now, I think I could start an "ointment/lotion/cream" store with all of the stuff I've purchased for my skin issues while on treatment, many of which were not helpful.

Avatar n tn so I brought her 2 different dermatologists, they both prescribed creams but none worked, they only made it worse! the skin around the eyes are now whiter than the rest of the face that I think is the result of the cream. It's still itchy, and I've been applying Vaseline to those areas but the problem doesn't go away. Any suggestions are welcome. Please and thank you.
Avatar m tn In the past few months I have begun to have regular episodes of redness, flaking, minor bumps (can't tell if they are blisters), and minimal pain, around the corner of my mouth. It feels and kind of looks like an extreme case of chapped lips but it's not happening anywhere else on my lips . I've never had this problem and I haven't changed cosmetics, toothpaste, etc. I've been doing some research and think it may be eczema around my lips.
Avatar f tn Sometimes, it awefully itchs unlike my mouth. Now the thing is, the lymph nodes in my neck have been swollen for over a month, and the last time I visited my doctor, he said it was probably because of that eczema-like thing on my neck. But, can that possibly have something to do with staphylococcus aureus too or it's just a normal eczema? http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/1499/dsc07357x.jpg Tomorrow, I'll be visinting the doctor again.
Avatar n tn Did it form to the sides of the mouth, or on the lower chin? Did any of the rash have heads or were they flat to the skin? Lastly, do they itch or just hurt?
Avatar f tn My daughter had that for a while but around her mouth, and ur babys doc should give you med cream for it
Avatar f tn Cheilitis(Inflammation of the skin on and around the lips)is often seen in atopic dermatitis. Diagnosed by blood test like RAST. Treatment is by topical steroids or oral therapy of corticosteroids in severe cases. Topical creams like tacrolimus ointment (Protopic) and pimecrolimus cream (Elidel) are also useful. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
Avatar f tn In addition to all this, my upper lip has spots on it, and I have a dark ring around my mouth. I think the spots are from sun damage, as my lips were a very light pink when I was younger. The dark ring around my mouth goes away depending on what I eat. Its very irritating to be itchy and dry all the time, and I need a change. What recommendations do you have for very dry skin and sun damaged lips?
Avatar f tn I was using the cream for a patch of eczema by my mouth, so when the rash appeared I thought it was the eczema and continued to apply the cream to the spreading rash. I continued to use the cream daily for 5 months because it was the only thing that kept what I thought to be eczema at bay. After realizing what I was doing to my skin I stopped using the steroid cream and I am not using make up or face wash, just warm water. I was wondering if I can use a moisterizer or not?
Avatar f tn Hello, In most cases of eczema no one treatment will be effective. Medical research shows that the most effective treatment plan for eczema involves using a combination of therapies to treat the skin and making lifestyle changes. This is probably the reason that the calendula oil is not working now. Topical (applied to the skin) medication like mild steroids(hydrocortisone)to higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide) is frequently prescribed.

Avatar n tn I recently developed a rash around my lips and mouth 2 days ago that is now spreading upward around my eye. The rash consists of small raised bumps that are slightly red and very itchy. The rash looks similar to pictures of contact dermatitis. The roof of my mouth feels itchy as well. I also developed upper respiratory tract infection with a slight runny nose, cough, and sore throat.
Avatar m tn The type of medication prescribed will depend on many factors, including the type of eczema, past treatment, and the patient’s preference. Topical (applied to the skin) medication like mild steroids(hydrocortisone)to higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide) is frequently prescribed. If the eczema is more severe, phototherapy (a type of treatment that uses light therapy) or systemic (circulates throughout the body) medication like oral steroids may be prescribed.
1641357 tn?1470495393 s itchy, dry, red, scaly patches on my face mostly cheeks and forehead, but also around the edges of my mouth and sideburn areas. Along my hairline and my head. I've always had a problem with dandruff and i'm thinking it's moreso eczema now than dandruff. While I was pregnant it all went away (which i LOVED!) but now it's back and my face is super red and hurts and I can't stop scratching it!
Avatar n tn hi my names Harrison and i have really dry flaky skin but the thing is its only on my face around my eyes, ears, chin, around the mouth and arms and now very recently my neck has started to become dry and itchy and starting to flake up aswell its very irritating.
Avatar n tn It started with just a patch of skin on his face hear the nose and mouth. We applied hydrocortisone cream to see if it was just an allergic rash. The redness has gone away, but spread over his face. It is like rough skin, almost sandpaper feeling, that you can't see till you are up close to him. He is perfectly fine, no fever, no complaint of sore throat. Please tell me your take on this. Thank you for your time.
Avatar n tn However let me clarify, is the peeling only associated with the lips and does not involve the corners of the mouth? Or did it start from the corners of the mouth and eventually involved the lips? A differential will be cheilosis. An allergic reaction to certain external factors like cosmetics, facial cleaners, smoke,dust and other unknown triggers may also be considered.
