17.01.2022 PERIORAL DERMATITIS PART 3 Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency: Essential fatty acids are required for optimal skins integrity, structure and promote cell tissue regeneration, thus aiding in the healing of wounds and restoring skin tissue. If your diet is lacking in EFA’s or absorption is compromised, this may also be a contributing factor. I recommend a practitioner only essential fatty acid supplement for all skin conditions including perioral dermatitis. ... Stress: Inflammatory skin disorders are significantly influenced by stress and emotion. Stress leads to inflammation and lowered immune tolerance, both of which have a negative impact on our skin. Stress also affects the skin directly via substance P. Substance P is one of the most abundant neuropeptides in the central nervous system and also in the skin nerve endings. There is an increased production of substance P during times of stress. Unfortunately, substance P is a pro-inflammatory neuropeptide meaning it triggers the production of chemicals that cause inflammation, having a direct inflammatory impact on the skin (and gut). Research has found SP to contribute to the pathogenesis of numerous skin diseases, like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and acne. It has been found that SP could also act through interaction with the skins microflora. Understandably many individuals get more stressed when their skin condition worsens, setting up a vicious cycle. Therefore, incorporating daily stress management techniques and speaking kindly to yourself are important. Skincare & Skin Function: It is imperative to improve the skin barrier and restore the skin microbiome by using the correct skin care and treatments. I would highly recommend speaking to an experienced dermal therapist who can prescribe suitable skincare and effective treatments to reduce inflammation & facilitate healing. I highly recommend DMK products which can be purchased via Melissa Jean Beauty. If you’re struggling with a skin conditions such as peri-oral dermatitis, get in touch with me today to book an initial consult or a free 15 min discovery call to see how I can help. See more

06.01.2022 PERIORAL DERMATITIS PART 2 IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS: The Gut-Skin Axis:... Research shows a clear association between the gut and skin disorders as the microbiome communicates with the skin as one of the main regulators in the gut-skin axis. There are several mechanisms of how the gut influences the skin: Intestinal permeability (a.k.a. leaky gut) causes both systemic and local inflammation, which in turn can contribute to skin conditions such as dermatitis. Dysbiosis (an imbalance between good and bad bacteria in the gut) is also a known cause for skin conditions. I use functional testing such as comprehensive stool analysis to help me uncover the potential underlying causes of your unwanted symptoms, and in doing so, improve overall gut health. Fungal overgrowth (Malassazia): Perioral dermatitis and other inflammatory skin conditions can be associated with a fungal overgrowth on the skin called Malassazia. Malassazia is considered a commensal part of the skin microbiome, however it can cause issues and dramatically aggravate inflammation under conditions of impaired skin integrity and imbalances in the skin microbiome. Being lipophilic (loves fat & oil), Malassezia is found in mainly in sebaceous areas such as the scalp, face and upper body. Using tailored skincare to balance the skin microbiome and strategies to address the gut-skin axis can help. CONTINUED... See more

02.01.2022 PERIORAL DERMATITIS PART 1 (of a 3 PART series) What is it? Perioral dermatitis (PD) is an inflammatory skin condition that affects the face- perioral means "around the mouth. It is typically more common in women of menstruating age and the severity of PD can vary from patches of bumpy red, flakey or irritated skin to more severe cases where the skin becomes extremely red, inflamed and sore. ... Causes? There is not one definitive cause for PD and this is why it can be a frustrating skin condition. There is some evidence to suggest the ongoing use of corticosteroids (topical creams & nasal sprays) may cause perioral dermatitis. There is also evidence to suggest cosmetics containing petrolatum or paraffin may worsen symptoms. Other possible triggers include: Using a steroid cream on the face Makeup and cleansers that are applied to the affected or irritated area, which can make flare-ups worse Birth control pills Fluorinated toothpaste - switch to a natural SLS and fluoride free toothpaste CONTINUED...
