In reply to 15mins. Yes, I’m going to talk to my doctor about this. I just didn’t want to use any products that would make it worse. Thanks for the advice!

In reply to Allison. This is fine, and calendula oil is also ok for pregnancy. Really, perioral dermatitis is very difficult to treat without topical antibiotics though, which you'll need to see your physician for.

Is Osmia Purely Simple Face Cream look ok for pregnancy and nursing? It’s recommended for perioral dermatitis as well, but I know essential oils are iffy during pregnancy and I’m not sure if there’s anything else in there that should be avoided.

And I wanted to try the zinc soap you recommended, but I’ve read that calendula oil should be avoided in pregnancy. Is that true? It’s in other products recommended for pregnancy, but I’ve read conflicting information.

Thank you so much!

In reply to Allison. This soap is fine for pregnancy and I do really love Osmia's products, but I would talk to your physician. Typically peri-oral derm doesn't clear up without a topical antibiotic such as doxy or clinda. Avoid a topical steroid (hydrocortisone), a lot of people try that but it actually makes it worse. I've also found that a soap with zinc in it is helpful, I let it sit on the area for 1-2 minutes once a day. This calming zinc soap from Dr. Bailey Skincare is safe and is my favorite!
