Face rash

I've had a reoccurring rash that I get around my mouth. I had been putting betamethasone on it which would clear it up but then would come back within a week if I quit using cream. Finally got insurance and was prescribed a po antibiotic and triamcinolone acetonide dental paste?? Even that seemed to help and antibiotics kept it gone for about 1-3 months but back. I'm 28. Ive quit using all products and even towels on face to no avail. I have had a hx of staph back in elementary that I'd dormant and get spring time for 3 years. Finally beat it out with a strong red pill (unsure of name). I'm without ins again so hoping to find my answer online. It does not itch and does not burn. Starts as light clusters of bumps and keeps getting more red and spreads some. Hope I've given enuf info! Btw, MD didn't say much bout rash but I also had a little red dot by my eye that Im pretty sure was related but he diagnosed me with 2 separate issues.

He told me not to use it around my eye also due to eye pressure concerns. It was just one dot by my eye. And yes he did call the stuff around my mouth something with oral...not sure exact diagnosis. I haven't had anything wrong with my eye since then either. The rash will appear within 1-3 days of not using the creams on it and if I let it go it will just get worse.

The one way I can connect your face and eye is with a clinical diagnosis of 'rosacea'.Please do not use steroids here and you might land up with a peri-oral dermatitis. Do consult your doc.
