Acne Imposters: Perioral Dermatitis
Perioral Dermatitis is primarily found in women in their 20s and 30s, although anyone can get it, including babies. It appears as patches of itchy or tender red spots around your mouth. The skin around your lips may appear pale and dry, while your chin, upper lips and cheeks become red, dry and flaky. You might also see outbreaks or Perioral Dermatitis around your nose.
If you're experiencing these symptoms, it's best to consult your dermatologist for treatment options.
