Suggest Treatment For Perioral Dermatitis In Corners Of Mouth
Hello, I've had perioral dermatitis in both corners of my mouth for about 5 years now. Everytime I go to the doctor I get hydrocortsine (1%) and it never goes. What do I do? It makes me feel really self-conscious and unattractive and I just want it gone.
