Perioral dermatitis, a condition related to acne vulgaris, consists of red papules that may appear microvesicular that typically effect the nasolabial folds, perioral area or perioccular area. It usually affects women between the ages of 20 and 45.

[edit] Causes

It is commonly caused by the use of fluorinated topical glucocorticoid steroids to this area.

[edit] Treatment

It is treated in a similar manner to acne vulgaris with tetracycline antibiotics or erythromycin but, without the use of topical steroids.
