Hello,
Thank you for writing to HCM

Dry skin is generally caused due to cold weather, dehydration, medication, and in certain diseases.

Apply elovera cream over the affected area. Wash face with cetaphil cleanser. Do not wash face more than twice daily. Take Tab.sterna plus (omega 3 fatty acids) once daily for 1 month.

Drink lot of water or juice and keep yourself well hydrated.

Consult a dermatologist in person if symptoms persists after medication.

Regards.
