Perioral dermatitis.
Perioral dermatitis is an eruption that has a characteristic perioral localization. It usually responds rapidly to systemic tetracycline and low-potency topical corticosteroids. In a study of eighty-seven patients it was found that systemic erythromycin is also effective and that in some instances topical antibiotics combined with 1 per cent hydrocortisone may be effective.
