So here I am, feeling horrible because of my face, skipped a couple of classes cause i dont intend on leaving my room like this.
Let me give you some context.
I've always had a very dry skin. Around a year ago, i had an eczema on both my arms and a doctor prescribed me Advatan and i think it was around that time that my face started to look like this. Around March? i went to the dermatologist and he told to use Elidel, well i did, it flared up for 20 minutes and then clear,with no long term results, it would re appear. Since then i brushed it off but i've always been really insecure for obvious reasons. I've tried to clean my face with soap, i think it helps, but my skin gets SUPER DRY, but if i put some Nivea cream, it flares RED like the photos.
I've looked up on the internet what my problem might be and by looking at images of others, it resembles Perioral Dermatitis. I'm scheduling another Dermatologist appointment for friday if all goes well.
Anyone has any tips?

I wouldnt put any topicals on it at all until you get to dr and dont leave without an oral anti biotic.basicly most things skin is acne,its a side effect of an underlying issue ie:its what you see!
so anti biotics kills acne causing bacteria,what you got is more likely acne and therefore if you kill the acne causing bacteria this should clear up.
just wash with warm water only and pat dry with clean dry towel each time.
so get to dr,dont leave without an oral anti biotic such as lymecycline for example.
