Abstract

A 22 year old male patient with a combination of three dermatoses: perioral dermatitis, atopic dermatitis and acne vulgaris constitutes an interesting clinical case, which we would like to present in this article. Having observed the patient for more than two years, we gained a set of data, noteworthy for the field of dermatology. In case of perioral dermatitis, the use of cosmetics and detergents, toothpaste containing fluoride, ointments containing glucocorticoids should be avoided. Topical corticosteroids have proven effective against atopic dermatitis. Should topical corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone fail to take effect, a short-term treatment with topical calcineurin inhibitors like tacrolimus or pimecrolimus might be considered. In the case at hand, a treatment with retinoids proved to be remedy of choice against acne vulgaris.
