Scaly redness on the face with nodules: oral rose not only leads to itching and pain - the psyche also suffers.
How to treat perioral dermatitis.
Over-care is the key word: If you use too many waters and creams, you risk more than just leaving a hole in your wallet.
Irritation and redness on the face can result.
Perioral dermatitis, also known as oral rose or stewardess disease, can also be the result of overcare.
The facial skin reacts overly sensitively to certain substances in facial creams, cleansers or make-up, which results in an unsightly rash.
"Stewardess disease": reasons for perioral dermatitis
The term "stewardess disease" arose in the 1950s, when shortly after the war it was primarily stewardesses who were able to stock up on new care and beauty products from abroad - and therefore often used too many cosmetics.
Papules, pustules, itching: symptoms of oral rose
Perioral dermatitis often appears around the mouth, although the chin, eyelids, nose, or the folds leading from the nose to the mouth can also be affected.
If the mouth rose gets worse, it spreads to the cheeks, forehead and eyes
.
A narrow, approximately two millimeter wide edge zone around the lips usually remains symptom-free.
The following symptoms are typical of perioral dermatitis
:
flat, scaly redness around the mouth
small reddish nodules (papules)
occasionally pus blisters (pustules)
Affected areas of skin can burn, hurt, tighten and itch

Under no circumstances cortisone - treatment of perioral dermatitis
Under no circumstances should perioral dermatitis be treated with cortisone preparations.
According to the Techniker Krankenkasse, this results in a short-term improvement, but the symptoms would worsen after the medication was stopped
.
When a mouth rose is diagnosed, dermatologists primarily recommend zero therapy: the skin can recover by eliminating creams, cleansing gel, facial toner and make-up.
Those affected should only wash their skin with warm water
.
If you can't do without it, you should use a very mild, pH-neutral soap or products with synthetically produced detergent substances.
For more severe cases, anti-inflammatory drugs and/or antibiotic solutions and gels can be used.
In very severe cases, it may even be necessary to take antibiotics.
It is important not to stop treatment, even if improvement does not occur immediately.
At the beginning of therapy it is even possible that the symptoms temporarily worsen
.
But if you avoid skin-irritating care products in the long term, you have a good chance of getting oral roses under control in the long term.
