Hello, I have been told by my GP that I have perioral dermatitis. I am 41 years old (female) and have never had any skin problems before. It is presenting as a red rash around the base of nostrils, around my mouth and chin. It has also flared up between my eyes (above nose) and around my right eye. I am looking for some information on what this condition is, why I might have it, and the best course of action to treat it. The GP prescribed Doxycycline Sandoz 100mg for 4-8 weeks. I'm wondering if I should see a dermatologist for a second opinion before I start on this tablet?
Thanks,
Dee
