Abstract
BACKGROUND: Perioral dermatitis is a relatively important and often enigmatic type of eczema. METHODS: We describe a child with this disorder and review our experience and the literature. RESULTS: Clinical features of perioral dermatitis in our patient and in many others decribed elsewhere show a high prevalence of perinasal and periocular involvement alongside perioral findings. CONCLUSIONS: Perioral dermatitis is more suitably termed periorificial dermatitis.
