I Have Tried Various Topicals, Oral Antibiotics For Perioral Dermatitis, Anti-fungals And Isotretinoin Recently

I m a 26 year old female that has dealt with an eczema type rash on the sides of my nose and around my mouth for the past 3 years. It comes and goes, I have tried various topicals, oral antibiotics for perioral dermatitis, anti-fungals, and isotretinoin recently. The problem started after I used topical cutivate on my face. Prior to that my seb derm was very mild. The past year it has been explosive all over my face. I have had blood work done and a biopsy, the only thing it came back was as sebo-psoariasis (possibly). All I know is that I haven t been responding to treatment and if something does work, after awhile it quits working. I ve been in a lot of pain because of this and have gone to Johns Hopkins for my problem for months. They have no idea what to do either at this point. -Trisha

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi. I can understand your trouble. But the thing with perioral dermatitis and sebo psoriasis is that, they are very refractory to treatment. The flares are mostly associated with unsupervised use of steroids on face. Can you email your pictures to me on gaurangkrishna3@gmail.com? I can then suggest you the next step. In the meanwhile you can use Zocon gel twice daily ( But see a GOOD and QUALIFIED dermatologist asap.)
