Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 , You don't list everything you've tried for the perioral dermatitis, but I'd just like to say that if you haven't tried switching to a non-floride toothpaste, you should really give that a shot. I have perioral dermatitis, and that really helped for me. For a long time I was not convinced that it was the toothpaste that made a difference, because I had tried several things at once. But a couple months ago I switched back to a regular toothpaste and within two weeks I was broken out around my mouth again. Switched back to the non-floride toothpaste, and once again the problem resolved. I'm not sure that that would be the case for everyone, but in my case the toothpaste did turn out to be the most important factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 I agree with , it could be your toothpaste. I can use Aqua Fresh but any of the other toothpastes (Crest, Colgate) that seem to " foam " more also give me problems like you describe. It's worth a shot!
