Re: Antibiotics not helping my facial dermatitis!

Mat I suggest you ry beta carotene , It is a derivative of vitamin A that is easily absorbed by the body and any excess is excreted out in your urine unlike regular vitamin A which is stored by the bodyy , You can take too much vitamin a .Beta caroteneis safe and I reccomend you take the dose recommended on the bottle. This will help your skin , Sometimes the doctors overlook the obvious

Re: Antibiotics not helping my facial dermatitis!

Have you researched the condition @Onefineday?  There may be some things you're not aware of that you can do to help:

 

"Part of treating perioral dermatitis is lifestyle changes that can help prevent it. Some possible actions include:

  • Get rid of harsh face scrubs or perfumed cleansers. Instead, use only warm water during flare-ups. Once healed, only use mild soap and don’t scrub at the skin.
  • Avoid steroid creams, even nonprescription hydrocortisone.
  • Stop using or reduce use of makeup, cosmetics, and sunscreen.
  • Frequently wash your pillow cases and towels in hot water.
  • Limit overly salty or spicy foods, which can irritate skin around the mouth."
