Perinasal Dermatitis (Rash Around the Nose)
What is Perinasal Dermatitis?
Perinasal dermatitis is a skin condition where small red bumps, patches, or rashes appear around the nose. Some people describe it as “constant redness” or “acne-like bumps” that never fully go away. It may feel itchy, sting slightly, or look like the skin is peeling. While it is not life-threatening, it can be uncomfortable, embarrassing, and frustrating because it affects one of the most visible parts of the face.
What Causes Perinasal Dermatitis?
There is no single cause, but several common triggers contribute to it:
- Overuse of products – Heavy moisturizers, steroid creams, or even toothpaste with fluoride can irritate the skin.
- Skin barrier weakness – When the natural protective layer of skin is damaged, it becomes more sensitive to bacteria, yeast, and environmental irritants.
- Hormonal changes and stress – Fluctuations in hormones or ongoing stress can make the rash worse.
- Environmental triggers – Hot weather, humidity, or pollution may inflame the skin around the nose.
- Lifestyle habits – Constantly touching or wiping the nose, or harsh cleansing, can irritate and spread the rash.
In short, perinasal dermatitis is often the result of both internal and external stress on the skin.
How to Fix the Problem
Managing perinasal dermatitis requires a gentle, structured approach. Here’s what usually helps:
- Stop harsh products
Avoid strong steroid creams, heavy oils, or products that leave residue around the nose. They may give short-term relief but often make the rash return worse. - Gentle cleansing
Use mild, sulfate-free cleansers that do not strip natural oils. Keeping the area clean without over-washing helps reduce irritation. - Repair the skin barrier
The most effective step is restoring the skin’s natural shield. Products with calming, hydrating, and barrier-strengthening ingredients—like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and soothing botanicals—work well. - Professional treatment
Since the rash is often persistent, professional care can shorten recovery and prevent flare-ups. Treatments that calm inflammation, rebalance the skin’s microbiome, and deeply hydrate are usually recommended. - Lifestyle care
Manage stress, avoid over-exfoliating, and be mindful of skincare habits. Sometimes even small adjustments, like using fragrance-free products or avoiding hot steam on the face, can make a big difference.
