But that’s not how perioral dermatitis works. That I finished the antibiotics and it never happened again. I wish I could say that was it, that I had a bad reaction to some skin-care product. All my shiny new bottles stared back at me. I walked over to my bathroom cabinet and opened it. Then she prescribed me a hefty course of doxycycline. “To be safe, I’d remove them from your routine,” she said. “Have you been using any new creams or sunscreens lately?” Weeks later, my dermatologist peered at me through a computer screen as I tried not to bury my burning, scaly-red face in my hands.“Perioral dermatitis,” she said matter-of-factly. In the days to come, I lathered on copious amounts of them all. Then I went to the beauty boutique next door, grabbing two different yet equally expensive sunscreens off the shelf. I bought every single one, grimacing when she read the total cost out loud. Afterwards, during check out, she laid out all the skin-care products she used. “This is placenta cream-for anti-aging,” she said, her soothing voice like a lullaby in the all-white room. I booked a fancy facial with a fancy facialist in a fancy loft downtown where various serums and lotions were massaged into my face over 90 minutes. “I’m going out!” I remember thinking-and I was hellbent on making sure my eye bags didn’t come with me. Now, we were sitting on couches, suddenly spouting stuff about retinoids and “baby botox.” The final straw arrived when, as lockdown eased, my group chat erupted that the Acme basement-my nightclub of choice when I was still on my parent’s health insurance!-had finally reopened. In college, we tanned for hours on the beach in Cabo San Lucas chugging margaritas. When I wasn’t on Zoom, I was on social media, scrolling past influencers dripping delicate oils on their porcelain-doll skin, or I was FaceTiming friends to pass the time. I’d spent the whole pandemic incessantly staring at my burgeoning wrinkles on Zoom. (Most, if not all, of the reasons above apply to me.) But here’s what I can tell you: Last summer, at age 29, I began to panic that I wasn’t doing enough to “de-age” my skin. The list of potential causes are wide-ranging, and therefore comically unhelpful: Chewing gum! Fluoridated toothpaste! Birth control! Steroids! UV light! Certain sunscreens! Heavy moisturizer! Stress! The weather! (“Often patients may find flares can happen during times of stress including times of weather changes like changes in the winter with dry, cold air,” says Stevenson.) I can’t say for sure what caused mine. Perioral dermatitis is most common among women ages 25 to 49, and lasts for weeks or months.
