What Causes Peeling Skin On Nose?

My 13 year old daughter s nose keeps peeling…to the point where the skin starts to become thick and looks red and irritated. It just seems to continually peel, and of course she can t keep her nervous hands away from it. She hasn t gotten her period yet but is probably close. I only mention it in case it could be hormonal. She does not have acne (other than a small pimple once in a while) and has not been in the sun. She is very fair with many many freckles. What can we do to help her?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for follow up. She has dry skin, thats why i recommend her to wash her face with boiled cool water, apply fatty cream. I need more details, has she ever had allergy? If she were allergic she should drink 1 tab loratadine or levocetirizine in the evening 10 days. Do you know causes of skin peeling are weather, as wind,scorching sun,overdried space, allergy. First reduce the influence of factors,dehydrating the skin-stop to wash with soap and chlorine water, clean skin with a soft lotions, mousses, milks, gels for washing. Use mild soap, which has moisturizing cream or oil.After washing don"t rub the face and gently blot with soft towel, then gently wipe the tonic, and immediately apply moisturizer, you can apply sesame oil also.

Take care
