I decided after research to try a cream for athletes foot. Each day it gets better and better. The redness is almost gone.
I post this in hopes that it can help someone. Take care everyone, blessings and healing to you all.

That was until I found the one poster's comment here regarding a fungal infection that they had mis-self-diagnosed as Perioral Dermatitis. Immediately I jumped up and found a small unused tube of miconazole nitrate cream 2% I had on hand and I applied that to the rash. Within a few short minutes the hot, itchy feeling eased and within 30 minutes the burning was completely gone. I applied it one more time before bed and after cleaning my face with warm water. When I woke up the next morning the rash was about 65% gone! And what remained was less red and inflamed. I was fully healed in a few short days.
I share this with the hope it helps another. I am so grateful to the original poster. Many thanks.

Perioral dermatitis is a generic term for (dermatitus meaning rash & perioral meaning around the mouth).
Many times these rashes are misdiagnosed and really a fungus similar to jock itch, athletes foot or ring worm! Using hydrocortisone can help initially and then the rash rebounds and becomes worse!
Apple cider vinegar kills the bacteria temporarily but will not stop the grown completely!
Ultra with Butenafine Hydrochloride is the only thing that cured my rash. Keep the area totally dry after applying it. Do not use moisturizers or creams that keep the skin moist. Use a hair dryer to dry the Loritrimin after application! Blessings to you all!

I was suffering from perioal dermatitis for 4-5 months. It moved to my nose area towards the end. I tried using ACV and I believe it helped a bit. But what really worked for me was the Antifungal Lotion. In about 2 weeks of applying the lotion twice a day I'm now finally free of the dermatitis.
