Dermatitis, Perioral
Dermatitis around the mouth (perioral) is seen most commonly in young to middle age women and frequently no specific cause (stimulus) is found. However, there appears to be an association with fluorinated steroids and fluoride in toothpaste. In children, perioral dermatitis may be associated with irritation from specific foods or other materials carried to the face on the hands.
