Perioral dermatitis (also called periorifical dermatitis) is skin disease characterised by multiple small (1 – 2 mm) papules pustules and vesicles which are localised to the perioral skin (around the mouth) nasolabial folds (around the nostrils) or perioccular area (around the eyes). It most commonly affects women between the ages of 20 and 45 years but may also affect children men and the elderly. It is not uncommon and has a tendency to recur in individuals who have had it once.
