you tried natural 5 years ago without the help of curezone. Give a shot dont give up and you''ll be good to go like me and I was much worse than you. Curezone is about educating not medicating.

Read about the worst doctors here and medication

I got perioral dermatitis while doing the Dr. Natura cleanse and Clarkia at the same time. I have not been able to get rid of it since ( a few months ago). Pubmed says it is caused by a Fusiform bacteria that comes from the small intestine... I think when I loosened up all that mucoid plaque I released this bacteria into my bloodstream where it started to cause this PD. I also noticed that when I took Clarkia it would get red within minutes... I took this as an allergic reaction so stopped taking the Clarkia ... then it just got worse. NOw that I know it is a bacteria, I am starting the Clarkia again today... maybe i just didn't do the cleanse long enough, so i just loosened all the gunk up and didn't get rid of it all??? I have read that topical steroids, fluoride, and SLS make it worse, so I'd avoid that. Will let you all know if the clarkia continuance works for me... If Antibiotics help, then Clarkia should too, right? then i'll follow up with BIFIDOBACTERIA probiotics cuz they are specificall from the small intestine where the fusobacteria come from. I read that on PUbmed somewhere.
good luck... to me and you!

i know its been a few yrs since you posted this but i thought id see how you have come along in the last few yrs. perioral dermatitis can be derived from many things and many underlining conditions. thou im not a real dr i read enought to know a few things about a few things. i have this condition myself and had to figure it out all on my own. as drs for the most part arnt intune with eveything out there unless it smacks em in the face. this condition can root from candida infection which is yeast over growth which would be caused by Antibiotics and diet so getting that under control would not only clear your yeast infection up it clear your Acne up aswell. and hopfull the root cause of the PD. im not one for meds im more for avoidance. finding triggers and staying away from them. if there is a yeast issue following a candida diet and doing a cleasnse would be the first thing second is knowing the common things that trigger the blood vessels to dialate and cause that burning painful inflamation. shampoos, conditions, laundry soaps, facial soaps and cleansers that contain (SLS) sodium lauryl sulfate are one of the bigger triggers there what makes products all bubbly to make us feel there doing a cleaning job when there not needed at all. as well as (ALS) ammonium laruyl sulfate found in many of those same things as well as facial creams. there is also talk about floride being a trigger so if you have changed all this and still have breakouts then going to a toothpaste without flurides like sensodine may be what you need, or just brush with baking soda like in the old days. some other triggers are caffine, hot n/or spicey foods and alcohol.. i find with myself moderation is key with coffee and alcohol, once in a while maybe a cup of coffee and once a month a glass of wine doesnt seem to bother me. things i know trigger myself are dairy products, milk, cheese, sourcream,yogurt, also any citrus fruit is instant pain and cinnamin is slight but ok if in moderation any yeast product or formended foos product oh( sour dough how i miss you). ive found that titamium dioxide in sunscreens makes me react as well as aluminum in anything.. so check your deoderant cause its in there. another one ppl dont think about is steric acid.. its derived from cottonseed oil and palm oil and ive found its a trigger and it can be found it creams and even that little moisturizer on your razor. so if u find you react after shaving you need to find one without which the only one i found was venus spa breeze.

after six months of driving my dr loonie in and out of her office with the same result... your fine your better than healthy i have figuired it out.. but we all must be persistant casue we know our bodies better than anyone else. thank goodness for the internet

I have had PD for 4 years now. It can be soooooo embarrassing. I have tried everything it seems like. (Dermatologist Rocesa/Eczema prescription creams, Switching to Sulfate free Shampoos, Soap Free Soap Bars, Apple Cider Vinegar, Greek Yogurt, Fungal Creams, Hand Sanitizer, Expensive eczema lotions and cleaners, light therapy…) My doctor was even stumped.
My face was rashy and peeling until about 2 weeks ago. I have been rash free for 2 1/2 weeks now it is so amazing. I tried for the hell of it because of the zinc in it Walgreens Poison Ivy Spray. I spray it on a tissue and wipe it on my face 2 times a day and then moisturize with Dial NutriSkin Replenshing lotion BioNutrient Complex. This lotion does not break my skin out and makes my face feel amazingly soft. At first the spray did burn a little. My face cleared up within 2 days after putting the Poison Ivy Spray on. I haven’t had one single pimple since I have been applying 2 times daily.
I have also been taking Probiotic pills from Dollar General everyday the last 2 weeks and washing my face with Avalon shampoo, it is Organic and Sulfate Free.
I hope this helps someone else. I know how embarrassing, frustrating and expensive it is dealing with this skin issue. Please try it. I got the spray on clearance for $6.00 Regular $15.00.
