In the treatment of perioral dermatitis, local treatment is preferred (antibiotics, metronidazole, azelaic acid, pimecrolimus, tacrolimus). Systemic treatment with antibiotics, isotretinoin, or short-term pulse corticosteroids is recommended when there is failure of local treatment. "Zero therapy" refers to withdrawal of local agents, drugs and cosmetics. Topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in perioral dermatitis.
