What Causes Small Red Flaky Patches On The Face?
I HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING SMALL RED FLAKY BLOTCHES ON MY FACE OVER THE PAST WEEK. iT STARTS OFF AS A RED BLOTCH AND THEN OVER A DAY OR TWO IT BECOMES DRY AND FLAKY. I WONDERED IF IT WAS THE PILLOW I WAS SLEEPING ON BECAUSE THE FACIAL MOISTERIZER I VE BEEN USING FOR YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. THE PILLOW HAS SEEDS AND BUCKWEAT. I CAN T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE IT COULD BE. HOW CAN I STOP THE RED BLOTCHES OR TREAT THEM. I M GOING TO GET ANOTHER PILLOW IN THE MEANTIME.

Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to comment on it without examination, so I would either suggest you to see doctor for examination and for exact diagnosis or upload the pictures here, I'll go through them, and provide you with specific advice.
This might be contact dermatitis, wash it with cool water and with dermadew soap.
Hope this helps.
Take care
