Rash Around My Mouth???

Hey guys, just a quick question.  In the last month or two, I've been developing an itchy reddish rash around my mouth and in the creases of my cheeks.  My skin has gone from being oily to combination/dry since surgery, so I am moisturizing more now, but other than that, the only culprit I can think of is my surgery...maybe a vitamin or mineral deficiency?  Except that I have had a lot of my vits/minerals checked and they're consistently good: Vit A, Vit D, B1, B6, B12, Zinc, and Copper.  I plan to get some of the others checked at my yearly appt in June. 

Any ideas?  Thanks so much!  connie

I am not sure, but is sounds like an allergy to me. Have you been eating anything new or using any new cosmetics/soap since the problem started?????

Nope.   Nothing new.  I guess I have to go see the dermatologist.  Thanks for trying!  connie

I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago and piled on tons of makeup!  It turned out to be an allergy ...I had to take pills for a week it cleared right up...but i never found out what the allergy was,...but it has never happened again.  Feel better!
