Dry, itchy peeling skin on face.

2018-03-03 03:41:51
My cheeks have areas that are itchy, dry, red and peeling sometimes my nose and eyebrow area. Nothing seems to help clear it up and if I exfoliate and apply moisturizer it burns. What cream, lotion, face wash etc can help?

you seem to have seborrhic dermatitis. without confirmation of the diagnosis it is not possible to prescribe you the appropriate effective treatment. you can get an online private consultation by sending pictures so we can better evaluate the problem. hope this is helpful.
