I recently moved from a moldy apartment that had been affected by Hurricane Harvey. During the process I noticed a painful, itchy rash breaking out on the outside of my nose. It felt hot and raw and frankly, I wanted no part of it. I did an internet search and discovered Perioral Dermatitis. My next stop was Earthclinic and I tried several of the recommendations including coconut oil and an Aztec clay mask. They did nothing and my rash continued to grow.

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.

My rash showed after using a specific powdered make up that she advertises for older ladies on TV. There are ingredients in it that are very questionable. I have thrown it away. The rash has lingered all around my mouth for weeks.

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.
