title: [Lupoid perioral dermatitis as a special form of perioral dermatitis: review of pathogenesis and new therapeutic options].
abstract: Lupoid perioral dermatitis is classified as a special form of perioral dermatitis with dense aggregations of red-brown papules which display a lupoid infiltrate on diascopy. There are various treatment options ranging from total avoidance of all topical substances to different topical treatment. Cases resistant to therapy require systemic treatment, which, however, is off-label use. In our case we were able to achieve a significant improvement with systemic therapy with isotretinoin over a period of 6 months.
