POD (Perioral Dermatitis)

Perioral dermatitis (POD), also known as perioral eczema, is a skin condition affecting the facial area. It presents as a red rash around the mouth and nostrils, with small pus-filled bumps. The rash can also occur around the eyes.

The exact cause of perioral dermatitis is not precisely known. It can be triggered by factors such as overly potent skincare products or excessive use of cosmetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, or gastrointestinal issues.

In the management of perioral dermatitis, it is recommended to simplify and minimize the entire skincare routine. Favor the use of gentle and soothing products on the skin. You can try for example skin strengthening and soothing Ceramides & Probiotics Cream.
