Hi I am a 29 year old female (5'7 135lbs) suffering from perioral dermatitis. i have had this condition for a year and have tried all types of meds to no avail. I was on Tetracycline 250mg 2x for 2 months then 3x for the last month and saw great improvement the last 2 weeks. Last week I changed to Doxycyline 50 mg 1x but broke out right away. I have been on Doxy 2x for the last 6 days. I am also applying generic Klaron Lotion and started to notice a difference weeks ago on Tetra. Still applying w Doxy but still major breakouts. I was on Metro Gel 1% about 3 weeks ago and noticed improvements. I recently saw an Ayurvedic Practioner and they said this is easy to cure. As soon as I am off the antibiotics and can start their procedure. I have read stories about Ayurvedic diet and meds curing PD but wanted to get the opinion from MDs. Do you recommend staying on Doxy to see results or go back on Tetrachycline or try Ayurvedic methods. Please help. I want my life back. My life and job have revolved around being outdoors in the elements (sun, wind, extreme temps) which aggravates my PD. Other notes: I may have celiacs and I am allergic to nickel, cobalt, mustard, thimersol. I also have been a vegetarian for almost 20 years and am really healthy. I am also a yoga instructor. Also took birth control pills for 14 years and just ended them last month. I dont wear makeup or apply lotion. Allergist prescribed Mometesone with Epiceream last Feb. I used this for about 2 weeks sparingly. Also prescribed Flonase last year a month before skin turned dry. I have a weird feeling all these meds are making my skin worse!!
