Hi doctor, I am suffering from a sever skin dryness on my face with skin peeling off, redness, itchy eyes and face with burning sensation. It started about 3 weeks back and has been spredding from my face to my neck and now signs of spredding to my lower neck. Even my underarms have become dark and itchy also my hands are developing small itchy patches. My doc gave me prednisone 25mg for 4 days. Pls help I m so worried. I feel there s something more to it.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per you query you have dry skin with itchy rashes on face and neck which is pointing towards a condition known as sunburn or photoallergic dermatitis . In this condition the symptoms like 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 antihisamine drug like benadryl . Apply broad spectrum sunscreen such as TANCARE to face all the times. Apply vitamin C serum at night. If condition doesn't improve in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment and retinoids .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
