Hi doctor,I am suffering from dark colored dry patches around the mouth, which are swollen and very painful. I am only on some cream for acne. Please recommend some medicine for dry patches.
Hi. 1. Perioral dermatitis. 2. Gram negative folliculitis. 3. Perioral acne. 1. Capsule Doxycycline 100 mg twice daily after food for two weeks. 2. Peroduo gel (combination of Adapalene and Benzoyl peroxide) to be applied in a peanut volume, daily in the evening for 3 to 4 hours duration all over the face. In case of dryness or irritation, use it alternate days. 3. Use sunscreen in the morning. Kindly revert back with the details to a dermatologist online.--->
