[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s a classic spot for sebborheic dermatitis-are you sure it’s eczema? [/quote]

No. What would the treatment difference be?[/quote]

NP. My 12 year old daughter had this chronically around her nose and sometimes chin. Perioral dermatitis. 100% successful treatment for her is taking probiotics- specifically Florastor.

My son had eczema and we used the young living lavender lotion which cleared it up right away. I would put it on as soon as I saw him rubbing the insides of his elbows and behind his knees, when the eczema rash was just starting. [/quote]

Another poster who was going to suggest that this may not be eczema.  Perioral dermatitis classically shows up under the nose (peri-oral - literally means around the eyes and mouth).  It most frequently hits women and young girls.  I got it for the first time in 2nd grade.  People who get eczema are more prone to perioral dermatitis.  Hears the rub: the precise cure for eczema is the worst flare for perioral dermatitis:  cortisone.  But they look almost identical.  My only guaranteed cure for P-O D is antibiotics, but i'm currently attempting to navigate a flare with apple cider vinegar (which makes it worse before better).  [/quote]

OP here coming back later. Thanks for this helpful info! I also get perioral dermatitis that is relieved by antibiotic ointment (miupirocin). Why wouldn't you use that instead of cider (which is going to irritate & inflame further?)

As for my son ... I think it's eczema that also can get infected, to make matters more confusing. For this flare-up I just kept the area clean and moisturized with vaseline 2-3x/day, and it healed when he stopped rubbing it.   [/quote]
