Is it possible that the rash around the corners of my mouth and nose is connected to PMR?
I’ve had it for about 2 years - approximately the same period as PMR, but the various GPs I’ve complained to have not made the association. Rosacea was ruled out. But they have prescribed Daktacort ( for possible angular cheilitis) , Aciclovir in both cream and tablet form, Betnovate and most recently Fluticasone ( for the last 6 weeks). None of these treatments have had any positive effect.
Finally a nurse agreed to refer me to a dermatologist which she predicts will happen in about 1 year.
The rash looks quite inflamed and although not debilitating I am self conscious about it as it competes with the wrinkles.
Many thanks in anticipation,
Ann
