Common Causes Of Perioral Dermatitis

Bacterial Or Fungal Infections

Bacterial and fungal infections are common throughout the world. They occur in humans when bacteria or fungi invade an area of the body and the immune system can't handle it. Fungi live in plants, air, water, and soil. Harmful fungi that invade the body are hard to kill and can re-infect the individual who's trying to get better. If the patient has existing perioral dermatitis, the area is likely already itching, red, and possibly peeling or cracked. Bacterial or fungal infections will only exacerbate dermatitis and make it worse. A specific species of fungi such as Candida are cultured from lesions and can provoke perioral dermatitis.
