Red bumps around the mouth, skin that stings, tingles or won’t settle. A rash that improves with steroid cream… then comes back worse. This is perioral dermatitis and it’s being diagnosed (and misdiagnosed) more than ever. In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, Consultant Dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid explain what causes it and how to treat it properly. They break down what perioral dermatitis actually is, why it happens, and how to manage it without making it worse. Emma & Ellie explain: What perioral dermatitis actually is (and why the name is misleading) How it differs from acne, rosacea and retinoid irritation The link with topical steroids, inhaled steroids and nasal sprays Why overusing skincare can trigger it The role of the skin barrier and microbiome Mask-wearing, humidity and “maskne” overlap Why thick creams can make it worse What “zero therapy” really means Prescription treatments that actually work How to build a rescue plan for future flare-ups Why it seems to be more common now and how too much skincare layering may be part of the problem. If you’re overwhelmed by products, confused by conflicting advice, or stuck in a cycle of flare-ups, this episode will help you reset and understand what your skin actually needs.
