Suffering from the same ailment

[venus7]

I've been suffering the same symptoms. I went to the dermatologist once, they gave me a mild ointment. It has prevented the condition from spreading and soothes the rashes. Yet, it does not cure redness/bumpiness completely. The condition started when I was 24 and I'm now 25. I read somewhere that periorial dermatitis occurs in women 95% of the time and usually occurs in women between the ages of 24-45! I've been sifting through web page after web page searching for an answer.

I've been battling these symptoms now for the last 6 months. I don't drink or smoke. I only use Jurlique (all-natural skin products). My skin care regime now only includes an eye gel and calendula lotion (which naturally soothes redness). I brush my teeth with Tom's of Maine toothpaste (contains no flouride or sodium laureth sulfate). I don't eat spicy foods. But alas, I'm running out of solutions.

I am scheduling another appointment with my dermatologist soon. I'm very interested to hear how other's in this situation are doing to cope with this condition.

I have these same symptoms and I would have to say it also started around the age of 24 and i am now 26 and have found no solutions either by word of mouth or by the Dermatologist. Would like to know if you have had any luck since your post.
