Seventy‐three patients, 5 men and 68 women, suffering from perioral dermatitis have been seen in the last 2 years in the Rupert Hallam Department of Dermatology, Sheffield. All but 2 had used fluorinated steroids during the course of their illness. Substitution of hydrocortisone for the fluorinated steroid was followed by improvement in some, but the majority of patients required a course of oxytetracycline 250 mg twice daily for several months to produce complete recovery. A postal follow‐up of 20 patients who had discontinued treatment for 6–14 months gave 13 useful replies. Eleven patients had had no further skin eruption, one a mild recurrence, and one who had used betamethasone cream again, a severe recurrence.It is suggested that fluorinated steroid applications can alter banal skin inflammation of the face into perioral dermatitis and that such applications are contraindicated in the treatment of facial eruptions.
