For 4 months have had perioral dermatitis

Hi I have had perioral derm for about 4 months now. I am so saddend by the condition and it will not get better. Ive tried antibiotics, metrogel, tersi-foam, cleara-foam, ACV, and yogurt. I just picked up some GSE (grapefruit seed extract) hoping that, that will help/ I don't have a severe case but I am so used to having clear skin and it is very hard for me to cope with the way I look. My question is am I missing something? Is there anything else I can do?

I had tried EVERYTHING under the sun to cure my severe Perioral Dermatitis. I was so desparate that I tried Lotrisone Cream. I had a fifteen year old tube laying around from when my daughter was a baby abd had diaper rash! It is an antifungal, prescription cream. It was magic! I also clean my face with Borax Laundry soap (1/4 teaspoon) mixed with two tablespoons of plain old hydrogen peroxide. I clean my face with the mixture two to three times per day. I use the Lotrisone Cream on my face once in the morning and once at night. I think this problem is FUNGUS related. Hope this will help someone. It saved my mental health.
