Thank you so much for your response. I am calling my family physician Mon. and getting a referral for a second dermatologist. I will keep you updated.
Most sincerely,

Hello,
Doxycycline is the preferred antibiotic for perioral dermatitis but since you are allergic to it, it cannot be used. In unresponsive and granulomatous forms, oral isoterinoin may also be considered. Pimecrolimus cream can also be used. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist and discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
