Perioral dermatitis is a type of rash that occurs around the mouth. It may be caused or made worse by sunlight, corticosteroid creams and dental products that contain cinnamon or fluoride. Patients with rosacea are also more prone to this condition.

Treatment of perioral dermatitis usually consists of topical metronidazole and/or an oral antibiotic. While recurrences may occur, most patients achieve significant improvement within a couple of months of therapy.

Learn more about perioral dermatitis at the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology website.
