Redness and crust around nose and close to mouth area!

[joejosephdirt23]

For the past year randomly the areas around my nose and close to my mouth and spread out through some of my beard i get these bumps and redness. the redness around my nose comes and goes, sometimes it will crust up and go away other times when it comes i try to wash my face or anything i do to it just makes it worse, its also spread out through my mustache sometimes and i finally got the courage to ask a derm spec and they said it was an infection around my nose and mouth so she prescribed a topical cream called PROMISEH, and some antibiotics called DORYX. i take them and they do nothing . ive taken a full course of this treatment no results and this is really bothering me, it just comes and goes when it feels like and nothing cures it so far, i tried blue star ointment and cortisone and other methods. I guess i should go back to the doctor maybe internal medicine this time because this is really killling my confidence. what do you think? i have a few pics.

Hello,
From the symptoms it can be seborrheic dermatitis or perioral dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky,dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp under the nose or anywhere on face. Perioral dermatitis like acne is a chronic papulopustular and eczematous facial dermatitis. It mostly effects around the nose, mouth and eyes.

I suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated,

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
