What Causes Dryness And Redness On The Scalp And Face?
Recently my scalp and face have become extremely dry and flakey. My face is very red and skin is flaking off(mainly around my nose and cheeks). There is also one patch of dry skin in between my breasts that will not go away. Soaking in coconut oil seems to help, but only for a day or so. Any suggestions?

dryness of skin can be due to superficial fungal infection of skin or change in temperature. for this you have to moisten your skin and apply some antifungal lotion. apply lactocalamine lotion over the body and apply cream clotrimazole over flaky regions
