Brief Answer:
Perioral dermatitis, cap doxycycline & metronidazole gel
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Health
I have reviewed the attached photograph and you seem be having Perioral dermatitis.
If I was your treating I would recommend you to take capsule doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime and apply metronidazole gel on the affected areas twice daily.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Besides this avoid cosmetics and direct sunexposure.
