#perioraldermatitis

Join me in this journey!!🎧🎤🌱

The path I took to heal my PD was a long one and I'm still figuring new things out, the truth is, no one knows the real cure to perioral dermatitis, but luckily, I discovered what to avoid and created a routine that fits my needs.

Here are the steps I took to cure my perioral dermatitis:

Step #1 DETOX. I got rid of every single product in my beauty cabinet that had phthalates, parabens, toluene, sulfates, alcohol, and petroleum. There are more chemical ingredients out there that I'm sometimes allergic to but these are the main culprits. Reading the ingredients list is now a MUST for me. I also stopped using oils on my face, I know, even the good ones. Oils simply block my pores and when you have PD, they almost always make it worse. My technique now is to re-use my favorite oils and give love to my décolletage and neck, nothing above that.

Step #2 ATTACKED BY CATEGORIES. After eliminating and replacing my skin care products by non-toxic ones. I tackled other areas of personal hygiene such as body products and hair care. I bought organic body wash and lotions and replaced my shampoos and other hair products with non-toxic ones. Extra points on that, my hair thanked me. It stopped falling!! I also switched my toothpaste to a flouride-free and SLS-free brand (flouride and SLS trigger PD), my favorite brand is called Davids.

Step #3 SAID "THANK YOU, NEXT" TO MY MAKEUP ROUTINE. As you know, make up- specially foundations tend to have oils and often times contain Butylene Glycol, nano particles, petrochemicals, etc. which in some people has no effect at all but in me...God help me. It gives me BAD acne and triggers my perioral dermatitis. So I had to do some research and buy from organic brands. The difference? My acne decreased exponentially and the bumpy rashes around my chin dissapeared. I also replaced the glossy lipsticks and petroleum based chapsticks (anyone else has super dry lips?) with organic versions, current favorite brands are CocoKind and Vapour but I'm always trying new ones!

The Perioral Dermatitis is almost equivalent to Dermatitis Herpetiformis but not the same. The most important thing you should know about these two is that they are very dangerous and deadly. One of the major things that made to look very similar is there ability to prompt scratching. These two can probably make scratching very overwhelming and super stressful too. We can't go further without knowing what our anchor topic is all about. It is very important to say this because the topic will be canvasing everything conversation that will take place here. So now, this will lead me to ask;

What Is Perioral Dermatitis?

This is probably an irritating skin condition which causes a rash (or numerous rashes) around the mouth region. There are other places or regions where this very rash or rashes may occur. Just as said earlier, there are numerous regions where this could occur. These are places like nose, genitals and eyes, but the tendency of having such rash on these regions is low. It is very uncommon to have a perioral dermatitis at your eye, nose or genitals. But the major region for this disease is the mouth. The term dermatitis refers to an inflammation of the skin and the perioral means which is around the mouth. Additional, the skin condition is most at times called or known as  periorificial dermatitis. Meanwhile when this deadly and irritating disease (Perioral Dermatitis) affects the children, it is likely called "Childhood Perioral Dermatitis". Elder people, males and children are also exposed to have this disease. This is to say that they can also have the condition, but it happens less frequently. From previous and subsequent researches, it was discovered that this very condition perioral dermatitis  is mostly common among the females. This ranges from the age of 16 and 45 years old to be precise. Having known all these, the question you should be asking yourself is; How does this happen? It will be a true unrealistic or a mystery to you all if you don't know what or how this condition happens. Certainly there most be a symptom or perhaps numerous symptoms. Because this condition perioral dermatitis has some detective symptoms, this lead me to write on;

Symptoms of Perioral Dermatitis

This is probably one of the important things we should keenly and candidly talk about here on this very unique and informative thread, This condition perioral dermatitis is actually a rash that develops around the mouth (just as referenced in the upper part of this thread). So it tends to be scaly and very super bumpy in nature. These bumps general do not affect the skin right next to the mouth but it appeared in a short distance away from the lips. They may form a ring around the mouth. Sometimes the rash can appear around the nose or eyes. It can occasionally appear around the genitals too, but this is rare. So you should know that it normally happens majorly only at the mouth region. The nose, eye and genital aren't affected steadily like the previous especially a rash around mouth toddler Some people with perioral dermatitis may only get a few bumps, and their rash may not be very discernible. Others may have many lumps forming a noticeable rash. The bumps may be skin colored, or, in people with fair skin, may appear red or pink. Although they might resemble pimples, the bumps are not the same as acne. It is possible that the rash will look inflamed, with the underlying and surrounding skin appearing red or pink and  rash around mouth toddler Most of the time, the rash or rashes may be itchy and perhaps will certainly need to be scratched thoroughly but this does not happen most frequently. Whereas some people with perioral dermatitis may feel tightness or mild burning in the affected skin, which may be dry or flaky. That's what I can say for the symptoms of such conditions like perioral dermatitis. So beloved,do not hesitate to consult a therapist or a doctor so as to take care of such situation before it becomes something worsten. Please do not forget that this condition is very deadly and flaky too. Meanwhile, something most have prompted this condition. Yeah! this condition didn't just flew from the whirl wind, but rather there should be things that could cause this very disease. Still on this, I will like to add more to this very content by adding the causes of this very diseases which has risked so many lives.
