I was diagnosed with PD a few months ago and after trying different medications I bought Lavender Oil. I have been applying it full strength to the rash and it seems to be helping tremendously. I started by applying in the AM and again at night, but realized that my face would flair up later in the day. Now I am carrying the bottle with me and applying several times throughout the day. I have also eliminated soaps and have not been applying any lotions or creams to my face and I don't apply makeup. I have been using a Himalayan salt bar on my face every few days, otherwise I rinse my face with plain water and then apply the lavender oil. It seems to reduce the redness and helps reduce the size and inflammation of the existing rash bumps. Anyone else have experience using Lavender oil to cure Peri-oral Dermatitus??
I am sure adding the lavender to the calendula oil I was already using has (followed by calming creme) helped tremendously! It has really toned down the redness in just a day and a half. For me it seems to be that missing link I was looking for!
