Is this a skin condition?!


Question: Is this a skin condition?
There is this area of skin under my my eyes and adjacent to my nose to the left and the right that is always red. The top layer of skin would often shed or peel off if i scratch, rub, or when I come out of the shower. I noticed this 2 months ago. It might have been there longer, since I wear glasses and the red area happens to be where my glasses casts its shadow. It makes me think that my glasses are part of the reason for this. I do not use any face wash or anything. I just use water and a hand towel I only use for rinsing my face. Sometimes it feels dry in the red area. It might be cracked, warm, or bumpy sometimes like a rash. Sometimes it sticks after I rub too much, but I stopped doing that after finding out 2 months ago that this redness never went away. What is this?

Answers:

Honestly, it sounds like you're just having problems with dry, cracked skin.
Pick up a facial moisturizer at the drug store and try using it as soon as you come out of the shower while your face is slightly damp. It should be a lot less irritating.

Though, if it continues to be a problem, I would see a dermatologist.
