DRY SKIN AROUND THE MOUTH: CAUSES & TREATMENTS | SKINCARE AT HOME

Dry skin can occur just about anywhere on your body, but it’s especially noticeable and uncomfortable when it develops around your mouth. The following are the possible causes, as well as what you can do to make your skin look and feel better, faster!

CAUSES OF DRY SKIN AROUND THE MOUTH

For some people, dry skin around the mouth is a chronic, ongoing condition. For others, it pops up only randomly, even if the rest of their skin is not dry. Although the reasons differ from person to person (and it’s best to check with a dermatologist if the issue is persistent), here are some of the most common causes of dry skin around the mouth:
  • Perioral dermatitis is a condition that can resemble acne, appearing as red, raised bumps around the mouth accompanied by dry, scaly, sensitive skin. There are theories that overuse of topical cortisone creams, fluoridated toothpaste, or heavy ointments or creams may be responsible, but often it is unrelated to any of those.
  • Contact dermatitis occurs when your skin contacts a substance or ingredients that cause your skin to have an inflammatory sensitizing reaction. Ingredients such as fragrance, fragrant oils, mint, menthol (and its derivatives), citrus, and drying alcohol can all lead to abrupt and persistent irritation and dryness, and these ingredients are commonly present in around-the-mouth products like toothpaste, mouthwash, lipsticks, lip-plumping products, and many lip balms.
  • Seborrheic dermatitis (seborrhea): More common in people with oily skin, this is caused by the overproduction of oil combined with irritation from a type of yeast that occurs naturally on the skin. Although not a problem for most people, the presence of this yeast can result in dry, flaky skin. Because there are oil glands on the sides of the nose, this can result in the condition becoming apparent in areas close to the nose, which, of course, includes the mouth.
  • Climate change, lip-licking, and certain medications can trigger dry skin around the mouth. Changes in the weather, such as very cold temperatures and dry or windy conditions, can cause the skin to become chapped and dry. Lip-licking and drooling (while you sleep; yes, it happens to everyone from time to time) are other causes, as saliva can remove the naturally secreted oils around the mouth area that normally keep it moisturized. There are also certain medications (both topical and oral) that can lead to dry skin, such as prescription acne medications like tretinoin and antibiotics like tetracycline.
