Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin condition.
From the decription you have given its too difficult to point out single specific diagnosis.
It could be simple perioral dermatitis or seborrheic dermatitis to herpes labialis.
Therefore, I request you to post some good clinical pictures with mention about associated symptoms and complains.
Hope you will revert back soon.
Thank you and take care
