Re: Breakouts Around Mouth 3

Perioral Dermatitis

Perioral refers to the area around the mouth, and dermatitis indicates redness of the skin. In addition to redness, there are usually small red bumps or even pus bumps and mild peeling. The disease can look a lot like acne. The areas most affected are the areas from the nose to the sides of the lips, and the chin…(it can extend to the eyelids and the forehead). Sometimes there is mild itching and/or burning."


Overuse of topical cortisone creams, fluoridated toothpaste, or heavy or occlusive skin-care ointments and creams (especially those with a petrolatum or thick wax base) or irritants such as strong benzoyl peroxide or cinnamon in the area, and foundations may be responsible. Exposure to sunlight, heat, and wind can also make matters worse.
The first thing I would suggest is to get a natural or herbal toothpaste as soon as possible.

You can try Burdock on the inflammed areas.
English herbalists used burdock root for boils, scurvy, diabetes, etc.
Burdock products typically consist of fresh or dried roots. Burdock can be purchased as a dried root powder, decoction (liquid made by boiling down the herb in water). I suggest you make and use a decoction on the effected area.
