"Risk hai, to Ishq hai", is an invalid statement in the context of real life relationship of a common man.
The correct statement should be opposite, "Ishq hai, to risk hai".
Ishq comes with lots of risk like "family nahi manegi", "caste different hai" etc.
"Risk se ishq" is only suitable for adventures professionals like stunts man, surgeons, surgical strike commandos, encounter specialists etc.

Check out osmia organics. She broke down all the steps for PD, followed them all and it worked for me. Key was the tooth paste, different skin care. Good luck
Thank you so much!
Here are some strategies that often help when standard topicals and antibiotics aren’t resolving perioral dermatitis:
1. Eliminate Common Triggers
• Stop topical steroids (even low-potency) around the mouth—these often perpetuate the rash.
• Avoid heavy creams, oils, and occlusives (e.g. petrolatum, rich facial oils) in the perioral area.
• Switch to a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser (e.g. Cetaphil or Vanicream) and pat dry—no scrubbing.
• Use non-fluoride toothpaste, and avoid whitening or tartar-control formulas.
2. Simplify Your Skincare Routine
• Cleanse once daily (at night) and rinse with lukewarm water in the morning.
• Skip serums or actives (retinoids, vitamin C, AHAs/BHAs) until the dermatitis clears.
• Apply a minimal, non-comedogenic moisturizer only if you feel tightness—look for ceramide-rich formulas.
3. Barrier Repair
• Incorporate a ceramide/niacinamide moisturizer (e.g. CeraVe PM, La Roche-Posay Toleriane) to calm inflammation and restore the skin barrier.
• Avoid anti-aging or brightening products near the mouth.
4. Consider Alternative Topicals
• Azelaic acid cream (15–20%) can be soothing and anti-inflammatory without the rebound risk of steroids.
• Metronidazole or ivermectin cream (often used for rosacea) may help—ask your derm about a trial.
• Topical pimecrolimus (Elidel) off-label can be effective without steroid side effects.
5. Oral and Lifestyle Measures
• Probiotics (e.g. Lactobacillus) may support skin health.
• Reduce sugar and dairy if you notice flare-ups after consumption.
• Manage stress and sleep—both impact skin inflammation.
6. Patch-Test Any New Product
Apply it to a small area on your neck for 3–4 days before using on your face.
7. Follow Up with Your Dermatologist
If you’ve tried multiple courses of antibiotics/topicals without improvement after 3–4 months, ask about:
• Oral low-dose doxycycline (40 mg “anti-inflammatory” dose)
• Patch testing for contact allergens (preservatives, fragrance, benzoates)
• Referral to a rosacea specialist—perioral dermatitis overlaps with rosacea variants.
⸻
Key takeaway: Strip everything back to the gentlest routine, repair your barrier, avoid known triggers (especially steroids and heavy occlusives), and explore non-steroidal anti-inflammatory topicals like azelaic acid or pimecrolimus. If you still aren’t better in 4–6 weeks, revisit your derm for a tailored trial of these alternatives.
