POD aka Perioral Dermatitis

Perioral dermatitis (POD) is a skin condition that affects the face. It typically appears as a red rash with small, pus-filled bumps around the mouth and sides of the nose. The rash can also appear around the eyes.

The exact cause of perioral dermatitis is unknown. Possible triggers include harsh skincare products, excessive use of cosmetics, hormonal changes, stress, and digestive issues.

When caring for skin affected by perioral dermatitis, it's recommended to simplify your skincare routine and minimize the number of products you use. Choose gentle, soothing skincare products.
