Novate and Triderm ointments are prescription preparations obtained from pharmacies only and should be used according to the recommendations of the attending physician. Do not use preparations that are left in the medicine cabinet on your own without first consulting your doctor. After diagnosing perioral inflammation, the doctor should recommend appropriate therapeutic treatment. If it is not possible to visit the site, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

Perioral inflammation is a common reaction to local overuse of glucocorticoids (i.e., Novate or Triderm ointments, m.in). These preparations should not be used on the skin of the face. Other preparations are used to treat perioral inflammation, depending on the accompanying additional symptoms.
Until you consult your doctor, you can use moisturizing preparations, the so-called emollients. Online and brick-and-mortar pharmacies offer numerous preparations for use on the skin of the face, including the lip area. Choosing the offer of an online pharmacy allows you to compare prices and order preparations with home delivery or personal collection at a selected pharmacy, such as:
Cetaphil PS Lipoactive Moisturizer:
