Any inflammatory skin diseases associated with the action of a specific irritant factor - physical or chemical in nature, are dermatitis. Symptoms, treatment of this disease in each case are different, because depending on the influencing factor and the degree of development of the disease, many types of this disease are distinguished.
Today we will tell you in more detail about this type of inflammatory skin disease, such as oral dermatitis. His treatment should begin as early as possible. It is also worth saying that the disease got its name based on the localization of its manifestations. From Latin, “oral” is translated as “around the mouth”.
Rashes around the mouth in the form of pimples and a rash that are not like herpes are most likely a sign that you have oral dermatitis. Many begin to carry out the treatment of such manifestations on the skin around the mouth with the help of various anti-acne cosmetic preparations. However, the inflammatory process does not stop, acne does not disappear, and dermatitis continues to develop. Therefore, it is very important for a disease such as oral dermatitis to produce treatment only after consultation with a dermatologist. Oral dermatitis is a very common skin disease. It strikes, as a rule, young women and girls under the age of thirty.
With this pathology, the resulting rashes are initially located only around the oral cavity, later on they spread to the cheeks, nose, and chin. If the disease starts, progressive oral dermatitis appears , the treatment of which is becoming increasingly difficult. A rash with an advanced form of the disease can affect the skin around the eyes, the temporal region, and the forehead. Rashes are reddish dots that may be slightly convex in shape, and pimples of small sizes can sometimes appear. In appearance, these manifestations of oral dermatitis resemble acne, but still they can be distinguished. With oral dermatitis, the skin becomes a little rough to the touch, there are seals, tubercles. At the site of rashes, stable pigment spots can form. Oral dermatitis differs from ordinary herpes in that rashes do not form on the skin located closer to the lips by less than one centimeter. That is, a “pale ring” is formed around the mouth, not captured by inflammation.
It is rather difficult to determine what causes oral dermatitis. Factors contributing to the development of this inflammatory skin disease can be: the use of cosmetic preparations containing steroids (hydrocortisone, prednisone), hormonal ointments and contraceptives, components of cosmetics, especially foundation creams, toothpaste.
In order for you to get rid of the manifestations of the inflammatory process on the skin and forget what oral dermatitis is, treatment should begin as early as possible. If you begin to act at the initial stage, then after 2-3 weeks from the disease there will be no trace. To make the recovery successful, refuse to use cosmetics for the duration of the illness and for 1-2 months after the disappearance of the rashes, do not use preparations containing hormones.
If you are struck by oral dermatitis, treat with folk remedies very carefully and consult a specialist before using them. To eliminate the appearance of dermatitis, wipe the affected areas of the skin, as a basis you can use infusion of chamomile, plantain leaves, calendula flowers, sage.
