Let me share with you how I manage my skin day-to-day and what I do during a flare up.
What is perioral dermatitis?

It’s most often caused by prescribed treatments like topical steroid creams that have been used incorrectly, cosmeceuticals, an inappropriate combination of skincare, over-exfoliation, makeup, and inhaled treatments (such as asthma medications).
