Subject: perioral dermatitis?
Sent: Monday, February 09, 2009
My 13 year old daughter has been diagnosed by G.P. with perioral dermatitis.
Was using prescribed elecon a few months ago, which worked after a few days. Can only use
for a week, then rash comes back worse than before. She has now started on a course of
antibiotics, just over a week ago. Wondered if one of your products could help???
Rash on face at sides of nose, around mouth and chin, bumpy red spots.
She complains of severe itchiness, tightness of skin and stings too.
This rash has appeared now and again over the last year or so. Every time if reappears,
has become more severe. Your advice would be much appreciated.
We have had good success clearing up perioral dermatitis using our
hypo allergenic face and body balm. Apply it to the affected area 3-4 times a day. Keep track of
what she eats in case she has an allergy to something. We once had a client with perioral dermatitis
brought on by contact with latex gloves at the dentist. The Hypo allergenic balm creates a barrier
to protect the skin from any irritants while soothing the skin and lips. It is non-toxic so you
can apply it whenever she wants.
A good strength multivitamin often helps too. Any good brand containing all essential nutrients
especially all the B group, C, zinc and A & D. have seen such good results with long term
vitamin supplementation for general health that I recommend a good multivitamin everyday for all
my clients. Vitamins are very beneficial for skin that repairs itself frequently such as the
lips, face & inside the mouth.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,

Hi ,
Thank you for the lovely feedback, it is always great to hear our products are helping people.
You should have no problem clearing up your perioral dermatitis using our hypo allergenic
face and body balm. Apply it to the affected area 3-4 times a day.
Also apply it before your go swimming as chlorine will irritate your skin. Apply it fairly thickly
so it leaves a shin on your skin before you have any dental work done to provide a barrier
to the chemicals in the latex. When the dental work is finished, remove the balm which
should have captured the irritants that would normally be absorbed by your skin with a cleanser such as cetaphil or any suitable soap free cleanser.
Then apply a fresh layer of balm to soothe your skin.
I would also advise taking a good strength multivitamin containing all essential nutrients
especially all the B group, C, zinc and A & D. I once was sceptical about multivitamins as
what the body doesn't use is excreted in the urine leading to the idea
"That taking multivitamins when you have a good diet just gives you the most expensive urine in the world."
I believed that for 10 years but now I have seen such good results with long term vitamin
supplementation for general health that I recommend a good multivitamin everyday for all
my clients except those on medications that would react badly with vitamins
(mainly anti-cancer drugs).
Vitamins are very beneficial for skin that repairs itself frequently such as the
lips, face & inside the mouth. Vitamins alone will not do a lot for your condition but along
with the balm they should help a lot.
Kind Regards,
David Hosking.

Good Morning!
I love your scalp lotion, this is the second winter I've been using it and it's
working wonderfully. I also have your breast rash creame which is marvelous as well.
Do you have a remedy for perioral dermatitis? I periodically am affected in my chin area
and find as time goes on more and more things cause me sensitivity,
i.e. if I go to the dentist, their latex gloves make my chin breakout.
Your advice in this matter is appreciated.
Regards,
MD, USA

Introducing David's Hypoallergenic Face and Body Balm
We formulated the lavender -free balm (removed the lavender oil) for infants, babys and children
with hypersensitivities. The hypoallergenic balm should work precisely the
same as our Lavender Balm product, although, of course,
it does not come with the lovely smell and color of the Lavender oil.
The hypo allergenic product without lavender oil conforms to the guidelines of
Sue Dengate ( see;
http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/)
who is prominent in helping children with food additive sensitivities. These
children also tend to have eczema and so the Hypoallergenic product without
lavender was born after requests from a number of customers. Directions for use
are exactly the same as for David's Soothing Lavender Face & Body Balm.
