Bad idea to use Psoriasis moisturizer on Perioral Dermatitis?

by Symptom Advice on March 11, 2011

I have Perioral Dermatitis…I know moisturizers can make the condition worse, but I found a medicated moisturizer by Dermarest that reduces redness, soothes irritated skin and helps prevent scaling…which is very similar to my symptoms. Psoriasis is a little more intense than Perioral Dermatitis, so I'm wondering if it would be a bad idea to use the moisturizer. would it have negative side affects?

Also, is there a moisturizer you would recommend for Perioral Dermatitis that won't make it worse? Thanks for any answers!
