What is Perioral Dermatitis?
Perioral dermatitis is an inflammatory skin condition that presents as a red, bumpy rash around the mouth, nose, and sometimes the eyes. Dermatitis means “inflammation of the skin”. It often appears with redness, small pustules, and a dry or flaky texture, making the skin feel irritated and sensitive. While the exact cause is not always clear, it is often triggered by factors such as overuse of topical steroids, harsh skincare products, certain cosmetics, or even toothpaste containing fluoride. Hormonal changes and environmental stressors can also play a significant role in aggravating the condition.
Inflammation and Perioral Dermatitis
Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury, infection, or irritation, playing an essential role in the healing process. However, when inflammation becomes chronic or prolonged, it can lead to skin issues like perioral dermatitis. In this condition, inflammation causes redness, swelling, and irritation, often linked to a damaged or weakened skin barrier.
Why Does Skin Barrier Damage Matter?
Skin inflammation in perioral dermatitis is often triggered by oxidative stress from environmental factors like UV rays and pollution. This damages the skin barrier, leaving it vulnerable to irritants and reducing its ability to retain moisture. A weak skin barrier is the root cause of persistent sensitivity, redness, and flare-ups in perioral dermatitis.
Research highlights two main internal triggers for skin concerns like perioral dermatitis:
- Inflammation, which leads to visible redness and swelling.
- Free radicals, which damage skin cells and further weaken the skin barrier.
How to Address Perioral Dermatitis?
Scientists agree that repairing the skin barrier is the most effective way to combat inflammation and protect against free radicals. Strengthening the skin barrier not only reduces the symptoms of perioral dermatitis but also protects the skin from further irritation caused by external stressors.
