How Can severe Perioral Dermatitis Of The Eye Be Treated?

I have been diagnosed with perioral dermatitis around eyes by a Dermatologist but never given the antibiotics. I was told to stop the steroid cream which I have but rash has really flared up around eyes. I went to minute clinic today and she gave me meprorocin ointment and Keflex pills. Will this help? Everything I read online says Metrogel and Tetracycline.

Hi,

I am sorry to say that skin conditions are best diagnosed and treated after seeing them directly.

May I suggest you upload some images here and get back to us so that I can guide you better.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
