Peri-Oral Dermatitis

This skin rash circles your mouth. It can cause scaly, dry and inflamed skin, generally accompanied by swollen bumps called papules. It can have a very similar appearance to acne and is often mistaken for that.

The rash itself can be quite uncomfortable, causing an itch or burning-like sensation. The rash can also appear on the ears, eyelids, neck, scalp, and nose.

The exact cause is unknown, however possible causes include:

• Stress
• Diet\Gut Dysbiosis
• Fluorinated toothpaste
• Mask wearing
• Impaired Barrier function
• Steroid creams and inhalants
• Candida Albicans
• Demodex Mites
• Hormonal changes (i.e.: the pill)

Perioral dermatitis can come and go and can last from a few days to a few weeks. Each person can experience this differently, and over the years we have found a balanced diet, stress reduction, correct product usage and good sleep hygiene can help reduce its symptoms and flare ups.

We love our DMK enzyme therapy treatments to help calm and repair the skin, by working on the structure and function of the skin cells. A series of enzymes and LED treatments performed weekly to fortnightly, alongside products such as EFA Ultra, betagel, betagen, acu-masque and contraderm can ease and clear up the rash.

For clients experiencing digestive issues and stress, a thorough consultation can determine if the use of our supplements; digestive tune-up and or Relax by Regul8, may help to balance and restore the guts good bacteria and calm an overactive nervous system.

In some rare cases, if the rash becomes infected, then a course of antibiotics from your doctor may be required.
