Perioral Dermatitis

For a really long time i've had a rash on my chin and the dermotologist kept telling me that it was acne (mind you I have very clear skin otherwise). They gave me all sorts of meds, from antibiotics to face creams that literally hurt. Nothing helped.

Now its pretty bad and Im embarrassed to have this crusty rash on my face. I went a couple days ago and they now say its Perioral Dermatitis. They gave me diff antibiotics and creams to use. I am really upset - it looks terrible. I really hope this goes away soon. I have a lot of important events coming up in the next few weeks (not to mention my wedding in 2mth) and I'd hate to be in pics with this rash on my face.

Has anyone heard of or had this rash before?

Did you look it up on the internet?? Try googling it and see what it says. Maybe there's other things you can do/try besides the cream
