Perioral dermatitis.

You notice a bumpy, red rash clustered around your mouth, sometimes spreading to the corners of your nose or eyes, often triggered or worsened by steroid creams. It's a skin inflammation that typically develops after prolonged use of topical corticosteroids, and it tends to improve once you stop the steroids and let your skin barrier recover.
