HOW I DEAL WITH MY DERMATITIS

It happened again - an outbreak of dermatitis this time around my right eye, something called perioccular dermatitis. Usually it's perioral, ie around my nose and mouth. Grrrr. I stupidly applied an overnight lactic acid cream and somehow it transferred to under my left lower eyelid and I awoke the next morning to a red, sore and throbbing area of skin. Over the coming days red, raised welts appeared and luckily, with the help of my brilliant friend ,a dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto, I was diagnosed and told how to look after it. And so here I share her advise and my journey. It is now two weeks later and I am almost healed, almost. To find Dr Anjali Mahto look on Instagram @anjalimahto - and online here https://www.cadoganclinic.com/dr-anjali-mahto/ and here https://www.skin55.co.uk/dr-anjali-mahto12 The two prescription options for my dermatitis are Elidel - https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/4966/smpc#gref and Rosex - https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/924/pil#gref Then the advise was simple - no actives, only unscented unfragranced gentle skincare - easy when even water stung.
