Does anyone have any experience of this please?

It's not too bad but would like something to calm it down and wondered if the chemist could give me anything

I have had it twice, once around my mouth and the 2nd time under my nose - a month's worth of antibiotics is the only thing that cleared it both times.

Thanks @didldidi
Were they oral or topical antibiotics?

Sorry, just seen this - oral

I get it whenever I use mint toothpaste, and switching to a fruit one fixed it.

Funny you should say that, certain brands make my skin sting so I wondered if it was toothpaste as well

I had to switch toothpaste. Based on my type of rash, the dermatologist i saw recommended fluoride free. The hard lumpy rash disappeared immediately. Trialed fluoride again, instant rash.
