Hello,
Skin dryness is very common with these drugs. This can lead to the burning sensations and peeling of skin. Generally, we advise using an ointment like petroleum jelly or vaseline generously with these drugs, to avoid this. So you can try this. You must not hesitate you're your dermataligist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
