Suggest Remedy For Itchy Flaky Skin On Nose

Hi, I ve been having very flakey and itchy skin at the bridge of my nose ( between eyelids) I have tried using cream targeted for eczema, but that hasn t really worked, any actually made the area whiter than it was before. I really really do not want a random white spot on my nose, and I want to get rid of this ASAP, so thank you in advance !!

Hi.
As per your case history you are having white flaky skin due to seborrhea.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't apply eczema cream as it contains steroid which will worsen the condition.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream once daily and a tacrolimus 0.03 % ointment once at night on affected part.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine if you have itching on that part.

Thanks.
