Perioral dermatitis is red bumps and/or small pimples around the mouth and sometimes around the nose or eyes. Do not use topical steroids for this rash. Good over-the-counter treatments are available if you know how to use them.

There are two main types of rosacea: 1) redness with small visible blood vessels, and 2) pimples and pustules. Avoiding triggers is very important, and good over-the-counter options are available if you know how to use them.
