These are not zips and it started slowly...a few here and then more. No white heads appear, just small red bumps. i am able to cover them with make up but once the make up is off I look like a spaghatti dinner. I have not changed a thing in my routine (I ususally never do). A doctor friend of mine gave me hydrocortisone butyrate 0.1% to put on it. It helped and calmed the redness down, but then will flair up again. I have an appoinment to go see my derm in 2 weeks.....but any suggestions what this could be. Just red areas with small bumps...but not white bumps and not coming to a head. Just read around the chin, mouth, and spreading to nose area.
Any suggestions welcomed. I did try putting AHA on it.....that made it much worse!! |

 WOW, now that is some typo, lol
Not laughing at you Shelley, this just really brought a chuckle that I needed. Maybe the new boyfriend really has you flustered (in a good way)  |

Ok. That was the only thing I could think of, as I was thinking perioral dermatitis.
Maybe new boy friend uses something on his skin that your skin doesn't like?  Please post back what you find out from your derm! |

| Keep us posted--it does sound much more like an allergic reaction or sensitivity than a breakout of some kind. For what it's worth, I had a similar reaction once to a niacinamide based sunscreen--it looked like measles! I had to give the sunscreen up once I figured it out. |
