I am suffering from perioral dermatitis since 3-4 months I have to apply cream every day is there any permanent cure for this problem.

Question

Perioral dermatitis is a facial rash that tends to occur around the mouth. Most often it is red and slightly scaly or bumpy. Any itching or burning is mild. It may spread up around the nose, and occasionally the eyes while avoiding the skin adjacent to the lips. It is rarer in men and children. The exact cause of perioral dermatitis is unknown. Misuse of steroid creams may play a role. Small, red, pus-filled bumps and mild peeling of the skin around the mouth are symptoms. The condition can also affect the skin around the nose, cheeks and eyes. A combination of self-care steps and medication, including topical agents, can help treat perioral dermatitis.
