From what you are describing, it seems like seborrhoic dermatitis, which is in layman terms a kind of dandruff. i assume it increases in winters. if it is not getting relieved with cream, you need to take systemic medicine for it, as it gives you a long disease free period and relieves burning , etc
Next Steps
use good moisturizer and sunscreen along with medication
Health Tips
avoid washing face with harsh facewash repeatedly, use mild cleanser
