Can deviated septum (mouth breathing during sleep) cause acne and perioral dermatitis?

mrseptumMar 26, 2018
Can deviated septum (mouth breathing during sleep -- the only DS symptom I have) cause acne and perioral dermatitis? Or those two conditions are unrelated and should be treated separately. Thank you.

It's always important to follow your surgeons recommendations on specific product use. However, in general, as long as it's not being placed on the incision, it should be safe to place vitamin E oil on your nasal skin without any problem. Best wishes.

Thanks for your questionIt would have to be some aggressive drinking to cause a problem. It's always a good idea to follow up with your surgeon if you have a question. Hope this helps and God Bless!Dr. Robb

Seeing that you are three years out since your rhinoplasty, light blunt trauma to the nose should not really cause you any long term problems. Just like an unoperated nose, any swelling or tenderness should go away with time.
