What Causes Chronic Low Grade Temperature With Flaky Dry Facial Skin?
i have been having a low grade temperature since 06/02. It started with a high fever on 06/02 and small heat boils over my face, it gradually faded off and skin on my face has become very flaky dry. I have been feeling very tired too. I met a doctor and they gave me an antibiotic for 5 days and told me have a multivitamin. After 5 days, fever subsided but now skin on my hands and body have started pealing, and i am also having a low grade temperature of 100 C. Help me.

Hello,
It sounds like you may have some sort of low grade infection or autoimmune disorder going on causing chronic inflammation. I suggest that you see a dermatologist first since there are skin findings and if the fevers persist you may also need to see an infectious disease specialist.
