I sometimes wake up with red blotches around my mouth on either side. Explanations/remedies? It's not rosacea.

Question

This has never happened before and started about 2 weeks ago.
I'm 19.
I have researched rosacea and don't have matching symptoms.
The red blotches aren't scaly or anything, just red. Well, pink.
I was thinking it could be change of environment since I was in North America for a year before this, but I'm on vacation in the Middle East. But it never happened while I was here before, and in the month I've been here it's only happened sporadically, maybe 6 or 7 times.

Answer 1

It sounds as though this may be from saliva and drooling while asleep. Saliva contains enzymes that start the process of digestion. Unfortunately, they work on our lips and skin as well, and are responsible for chapped lips, among other things. It sounds like your mouth is open a bit during sleep, and as saliva drains, it is irritating your skin.

I'd suggest using a protective lotion before going to sleep; it will provide a bit of a barrier to the saliva, so that it can reach your skin and cause irritation so easily.

Answer 2

You really need to read "Rosacea Free Forever" by Laura Taylor (also available in electronic format here: http://www.rosaceafreeforever.info ). It's about how to permanently cure your Rosacea naturally. I cured my Rosacea permanently in only 4 days after reading this.

Stop paying paying each month good money on creams. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to do! They want to milk money from you each month.

Answer 3

Have you researched roseola ? that could be a possible . it sounds like it for sure . It could be something in the air over there . I would definately have it checked out by a dr . good luck .

Answer 4

I'm not trying to be mean. But it could be from drooling while you are sleeping. Or from sheet marks from your pillow. Or you are sleeping with your mouth open and it gets dry.
