Dry red patches of skin?!


Question: I have dry red patches of skin, that seem to be recurring. I sometimes use tea tree oil on them, which seems to keep it under control somewhat, but the minute I stop using it, the patches come back. Currently in my eyebrows and a small part on my face. Please help, very frustrated.

This is what could be commonly called "Winter Itch" with the wind and the weather ( Cold ) causing your skin to dry out and become red and flaky. You should keep your skin moistened with lotion, I'd avoid lotions with fragrances, Stick to Eucerin, Aquaphor,Aveeno..,.etc You can purchase these at local retailers. If that doesn't work I'd try Triamcinolone (it's an atopic steriod) that will remedy any psoriasis...
I hope this helps... Good luck

maybe alleragy

Is it psoriasis?

For dry skin, use a creamy cleanser to melt away dirt. Leave it on your skin before sweeping it away with cotton wool. Splash cold water onto your face to clean and refresh your skin. Use a thick cream moisturizer to seal in as much moisture as possible and have a refreshing feel.check out http://tipsfromruby-skincare.blogspot.co...
