Sir,
I am a 24 year young male and my is skin type is oily. I have been dealing with acne under my nose; just above the mustache area for almost 2 years now. I also have dandruff in my hair. i read it on the internet that is might be the symptoms of perioral dermatitis. Also, i consulted a dermatologist who prescribed me some medicines namely droxyl 500, lordil 10 and nutrolin b plus and some multivitamins. The medicines were able to make the pimple and acne disappear in 3 or 4 dose. I thought it was the end to the infection, but they showed soon after i discontinued the course. Now when i ever i take these medicines, acnes disappear but they emerge soon after the medicines are discontinued. Please help me as these burn really bad leaving red sore skin just under the nostrils and its vacinity and are really irritating

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The history given by you suggests that the acne on your face has got infected.
The medicines prescribed by your doctor are sufficient to control the infection.
However, since your skin is oily, you can develop more acne and superimposed infection.
Acne are caused by blockage of sweat glands and superimposed infection.
The hormonal changes seen during adolescence and young adulthood are responsible for development of acne.
Wash your face regularly with soap and water.
Avoid using cream based lotions and creams.
You should use gel based lotions.
The associated dandruff can also aggravate the situation.
Treatment of dandruff is also required.
The shed dandruff can deposit on the face and can increase the infection.
So, consult your dermatologist for treatment of dandruff.
Thanks and take care
