Description

Perioral dermatitis, a stubborn skin condition causing red, bumpy skin around the mouth or nose, is discussed in this episode. Doctor Mona Foad, a board-certified dermatologist, explains that its an inflammatory condition often triggered by topical steroids, certain toothpastes, cosmetics, and harsh skincare products. Hormonal changes, stress, and heavy creams can also contribute. Prevention and treatment involve using fragrance-free, alcohol-free products, avoiding heavy moisturizers and fluoride toothpaste, and incorporating ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. Over-the-counter options like azelaic acid may also help. When it comes to makeup, opt for non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and sensitive-skin friendly options, and always remove makeup thoroughly at the end of the day.
