'''Perioral dermatitis''', a condition related to [[acne vulgaris]], consists of red papules that may appear microvesicular that typically effect the nasolabial folds, perioral area or perioccular area. It usually affects women between the ages of 20 and 45.
==Causes==
It is commonly caused by the use of [[fluorine|fluorinated]] topical [[glucocorticoid]] [[steroid]]s to this area.
==Treatment==
It is treated in a similar manner to acne vulgaris with [[tetracycline antibiotics]] or [[erythromycin]] but, without the use of topical steroids.
