Re: Perioral Dermatitis

Hi, I was wondering if since using the violet extract the initial time you had been using totally natural petroleum product-free cosmetics. I have to wonder if the real reason you broke out that second time was because there was a substantial amount of petrolatum in that chapstick. I know petroleum products, and especially petrolatum and paraffin wax, are major culprits in PD for most people. If that was the case then perhaps it was a combination of the violet extract to quickly kill the PD and using natural products to keep it from coming back. I'm thinking it's a combination of a fungal situation in the body that brings about what I think to be a cosmetic allergy in the first place. There are a few things that are confusing me about PD though so I'd greatly appreciate it if you answered this for me:) Thanks a ton! Tweet
