ABSTRACT
Pediatric periorificial dermatitis is a papulopustular eruption found around the facial orifices in children. Although the treatment of the disease has been largely anecdotal and experience-based, studies have shown that topical calcineurin inhibitors, as well as other topical and oral antibiotics, such as metronidazole, can be effective treatment options. However, most of the studies with a sizable number of patients have been based on the Caucasian population. Herein, we evaluated the clinical efficacy of topical calcineurin inhibitors and topical/oral metronidazole in 24 Korean patients with pediatric periorificial dermatitis. The majority of the patients showed a complete response to treatment.
