I don’t know it myself so can’t help you with experience. Your derm has diagnosed periorificial dermatitis, then it is normal treating you with anti biotics.
I read on the web that they don’t really know what the cause is. But that it is clear that it more often occurs with people who use or have used topicals.
I found the following:
General measures
Discontinue applying all face creams including topical steroids, cosmetics and sunscreens (zero therapy).
Consider a slower withdrawal from topical steroid/face creams if there is a severe flare after steroid cessation. Temporarily, replace it by a less potent or less occlusive cream or apply it less and less frequently until it is no longer required.
Wash the face with warm water alone while the rash is present. When it has cleared up, use a non-soap bar or liquid cleanser if you wish.
Choose a liquid or gel sunscreen.
PD is not Psoriasis.
I see you are already using Fumaderm, that would have prevented Psoriasis, so it is different.
