How To Treat Dry And Red Skin?

Hi, well I woke up about a week ago and my skin felt warm and really dry. I had red, blotchy skin for about two days. Then I began to have mild headaches that continued for a few days. I have zero energy and no appetite. My skin still feels pretty dry too.

Hi.
As per your case history of dry skin.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply an emollient cream like Enmoist cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
