Peri Oral Dermatitis

by DGC1509, Feb 24, 2008 11:24AM

Thank you for your answer. Can you advise please if Tea Tree Oil is an effective option? We live in a 3rd world country and many meds are not available through our clinic. The doctor has given us Fucidin Ointment. What do you think of this option?

Hi,
You can try Tea tree oil provided you are not allergic to it. As I have mentioned earlier that you need to continue prescribed medication from the doctor and see for response to occur.
Fucidin ointment again is an anti-bacterial.
Hope this answers your question.
Bye.
