If a patient has tried standard topical and oral treatments (which are more cost-effective) and is not getting satisfactory relief for the flushing, then micro-Botox may be tried as there are several reports demonstrating its effectiveness.

Hi, Perioral dermatitis presents with acne-like lesions around the mouth that may be precipitated by using topical steroids over the affected area. A close evaluation by your doctor is essential to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out other conditions that affect the region around the mouth such as contact dermatitis, acne agminata, etc. Upon confirmation of the diagnosis, periorbital dermatitis is treated very much like inflammatory acne with a mild cleanser and a course of doxycycline over the next 4-6 weeks.
