Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of dry skin on the forehead which are pointing towards a condition known as sunburn or photoallergic dermatitis. In this condition the symptoms like the peeling of skin and dry patches become prominent. I would suggest you to:-
- Wash your face with cold water.
- Apply cold compresses to your face 2-3 times a day.
- Take antihistamine drug like Benadryl and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to face all the times.
- Apply vitamin C serum at night.

If the condition doesn't improve in a week then consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications and steroid ointment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
