Dry skin on and around ear

2020-12-06 11:12:54
Hi, I have dry skin which scales. The dry skin is on the ear and behind the ear, and also sometimes around eyebrow. But the main concern is ear skin scaling. Sometimes there are pimples which may indicate oily skin, and causes confusion on wether to moisturise or not .
