Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had very dry eyelids and very dry skin surrounding the eyes, in addition to a dry throat, dry scalp with dandruff (usually normal) and very chapped lips. I was prescribed prednisone and an antibiotic for 5-7 days by a nurse practitioner. The dry throat and dandruff has subsided, but the eyes and lips still are itchy, dry and are not responding to topical lotions. What to do?

You should see a skin doctor as skin conditions are better diagnosed by observing by face to face meeting.
