How Can Facial Dry Skin With Eye Redness And Itching Be Treated?

I have been suffering from severely dry skin on my face for about 6 weeks. The outside corners of my eyes are red and my eyes themselves are itchy. I also have very chapped lips and the area around my nose is red and itchy and raw. My nostrils have cracks, too. I have had this in the past but it has never lasted this long. Is it possible I have an infection? Also interesting is that I don't have any dry skin anywhere else...

Hi,

It seems that probably you may be having atopic dermatitis. You have itchy sensation on face.And you have cheilitis and fissures on nasal areas.

Kindly consult the dermatologist.

I would suggest..

- tab methyle prednesolone 8 mg thrice a day for 5 days then to tapper 4 mg every 5 days.
- antibiotic like azithromycin 250 mg thrice a day for one week
- antihistaminics like desloratidine once a day at night daily till itch is relieved
- apply mild steroid with fusidic acid cream on the cracked areas and lips
- moisturiser cream like liq paraffin on face daily in morning after bath
- avoid soap on face
- avoid exposure to sun
- avoid fish,chicken,eggs,nuts,bringel,curd,milk products,banana in diet
- avoid contact with dust,fume,cosmetic,pollens,wool..etc
- keep mind cool,no worries and tension
- have patience

This would help you..

Thanks
