To the pathogenesis of perioral dermatitis

Abstract

Perioral dermatitis (PD) is a skin disease of the face characterized by a rash of non-follicular pinkish-red papules and solitary shiny pseudopustules in the perioral and/or periorbital region. It occurs mainly in women of young and middle age, often acquires a torpid course, tolerant to treatment. The study of PD is especially important due to insufficient knowledge of its etiological and pathogenetic mechanisms and the lack of effective methods of therapy.
