Thanks for writing.
As per your description, I think you are having perioral dermatitis, it is sometimes seen due to application of steroid creams ( a common side effect of topical steroid cream). Can you please let me know are you using any steroid containing creams. You can apply moisturizing creams like Vaseline petrolatum jelly.
