Perioral Dermatitis vs. Eczema Explained by parlingultom is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Perioral eczema and perioral dermatitis are distinct skin conditions that can affect the mouth area. Perioral eczema presents as a scaly rash mainly in children and is often associated with atopic dermatitis or irritants like thumb sucking. Perioral dermatitis appears as acne-like bumps around the mouth in young adult females and can be caused by potent steroid creams. Both conditions require identifying and removing triggers while treating with emollients or mild steroid creams in limited periods.
