Is Mupirocin Cream Advisable For Perioral Dermatitis?
I have been diagnosed with perioral dermatitis by my dermatologist. He prescribed Mupirocin cream. After a week of use, my face is much worse. His recommendation is to keep using the cream and only wash my face with warm water, and no make up. I work in a 5- Diamond hotel, and cannot come to work with a red scaly face. Is there some way to help mitigate the symptoms?? Any safe make up to use?
