I think my 5yo DD has perioral dermatitis. We have a doctors appt on Friday but it's quite bad and has been getting worse for three weeks.
The spots are under her mouth, on chin, and under one eye.
She has in the past used steroids for eczema but not on face for a long time. We still need to use it occasionally on her neck, elbows and knees and she has a high potency steroid. She also has inhaled steroids for asthma daily (brown inhaler).
Has anyone healed this without stopping all steroids? I can't see how we can get through winter without her brown inhaler as we often end up in a&e for viral induced wheeze in winter when she has a cold and she often ends up with oral steroids for that too.
From what I can see they prescribe long term antibiotics which I don't really like the idea of for a child. Has anyone been prescribed a cream that works?
