For about 6 years around this time of year i have a rash appear usually somewhere near my left nostril, over 4-6 months it will slowly spread down to my chin and continue up the other side of my mouth. the rash is like red bumps and if irritated becomes raw and feels prickly when touched. It will eventually go but i know next year or the following i will most likely get it back again. I use THALGO cleansing milk and a mild moisturisure and limit the amount of make up if any.
The closest dermatologist is about 5 hours drive and doctors dont have a clue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like Perioral Dermatitis. I believe that I am suffering with it now though I was misdiagnosed with Impatigo. Here is a site with information on it:

There you will see that if this condition is not properly treated, it will recur.
