About
A facial rash of small red or pink bumps and pustules clustered around the mouth (sparing a thin margin around the lips), and sometimes around the nose or eyes, often triggered by topical steroid use or heavy skincare.
What it feels like
Small red or pink bumps and pustules around the mouth, nose or eyes
A clear margin of normal skin right at the lip border
Mild itching, burning or tightness
Often flares after using topical steroid creams
Can look similar to acne or rosacea
When to get help
See a doctor if the rash persists more than a few weeks after stopping likely triggers, spreads or worsens, involves the eyes significantly, or if you need prescription oral or topical treatment. Never stop a long-term prescribed steroid abruptly without medical advice, as this can trigger a rebound flare. WikiRemedy surfaces community experience, not medical advice.
