Hi All!!
I was just wondering if anyone else has this promblem? About the last year or so I've noticed tiny red bumps at the bottom creases of my nose and kind of going in a circle towards my chin. They get darker on some days and lighter on others. They don't itch or hurt or pop with stuff in them, they are just there. Sorry if this is confusing, but not sure how else to explain!!
Thanks,

Perioral dermatitis. I get this and it sucks because it takes forever for it to go away, and you usually need meds to do so.

Thanks Paulooly!!
I looked at the pic's and I don't really look like any of them. There is maybe 6-10 total of bumps on me and you don't really see them unless you're close to me. Thank you for the info, it was interesting reading!!

That's cool if you don't have that. It'll stay forever... or mny months at least

I had this, and a savvy dermatologist told me it was from using toothpaste with tartar control. He was right -- if I go back to using a tartar control toothpaste just once, the red bumps come back. Now I use a Tom's of Maine products, and I'm fine.
