Hi guys,   Today is my birthday and I'm frustrated. Two nights ago I popped a pimple a little too hard and ended up ruining the skin around it as well now I'm left with what looks like a cigaret...

Hi guys,   I've been reading pretty much every thread possible on these forums and still haven't come across anyone sharing a similar story. So here we go.   First off I by no means have s...

Did you ever figure out the cause? This is happening to me.

I also just recently found this blog post about PD () and a lot of people were mentioning Balsam of Peru being a huge irritant for them. This is in a lot of products and foods. Just a thought?

Hey guys, How are you both doing? I just recently had an outbreak of small spots near my bottom right lip. It basically looks like they're on my lip or right on the boarder and when I wash my face th...

The pictures resemble POD. I doubt it's fungal - unless it's super duper itchy. Antibiotics would also significantly make any fungal infection worse. It sounds like you're using a lot of different rem...

Well this is all good news if you ask me! I second your opinion on doctors and how useless they are. It's sad that I've become better at diagnosing myself and am able to just walk into a clinic and as...

PD and any sort of dermatitis or eczema is so frustrating. That's a shame that the ACV is too irritating since so many people have had success with it. You're lucky you have a derm appointment so soon...

Have you been using the ACV? Curious on how your treatment is working.

I would most definitely try the ACV again, using it day and night, diluted (this is key), and only on the infected areas. I've had PD a couple times now and whenever I use ACV - even if it's diluted -...

The redness and the area certainly resemble Perioral Dermatitis. How long have you been trying the ACV? The suggested time for PD to clear is about 1-2 months and this is with antibiotics. So give it ...

That's awesome. You rarely hear of PD being cured without antibiotics. ACV seems to be the way to go for sure! How long did it take for yours to clear up?

Looks like it could be mild Perioral Dermatitis. This rash appears on my face too if I use anything overly drying to my skin. If it doesn't clear within a few days, I would consult a doctor about it. ...

Livvie, that's awesome news. Treatments do take longer than a week to see any improvements or not so keep it up! If you find your skin becoming too dry, add in your moisturizer again. @sweetkenzie, d...

Hey, I've tried both Teracycline and Minocycline and have had more success with the latter. Honestly though it seems as though each react different with different peoples bodies. I've also heard tha...

I just want to say I know exactly how you feel with going through high school and puberty without a trouble with acne, only to develop it later down the road. It's frustrating and emotionally drainin...

I feel like I've tried everything! I use toddlers toothpaste and sulfate free shampoos and conditioners. I've changed my make up to products that don't irritate my skin, etc. I've never had an allergy...

I've had PD a couple times before and actually just recently developed a spot near my mouth which I'm currently getting over. Each time I've had to go on antibiotics. The first time I was on antibioti...

Sweetkenzie, I've had PD before so this isn't surprising. However, this patch is a lot more mild then when I've had it before which made me hesitant to go on antibiotics. I was looking for an easier...

Thanks pharmteam, I was very apprehensive about putting the cortisone on my face as I've had Perioral Dermatitis in the past... BUT - I was desperate because the clindoxyl gel wasn't working and the r...

I've been using Cetaphil moisturizing lotion for years. It's lightweight and won't clog pores. In my opinion it's a very simple moisturizer and that's what I like most.

An allergy test seems appropriate. As well, considering you have done rounds of antibiotics taking probiotics or even trying a diet to restore your gut flora might be beneficial. Depending on your age...

I've been told it's a form of dermatitis, which is essentially eczema. However, the area is never itchy. Was your rash itchy? Is it possible to have eczema that does not itch? I'll have to check out t...

This is so ironic. I was at the dentist about 4 months ago for a bunch of cavities and a root canal, and I guess since it was a lot of work and very stressful on my mouth, I broke out all around my mo...

I've looked up pictures of molluscum and the bumps don't resemble the pictures. Isn't molluscum suppose to have a core? My bumps look like tiny clogged oily pores maybe from my skin being too dry? How...
