What Is The Cracked And Peeling Skin Between My Nose And Lips?
The little crease of skin between my nose and lips are always red and dry. No matter what kind of lotion or cream or chapstick i put on it, it always comes back and is very irritating. Its not like a rash or acne, the skin is jus cracked and peeling and very uncomfortable.
According to your history, looks like you have seborrheic eczema..ie dandruff over face . Seborrhoeic dermatitis (also known as "seborrheic eczema" )is an inflammatory skin disorder affecting the scalp, face, and torso.
Typically, seborrheic dermatitis presents with scaly, flaky, itchy, and red skin.
It particularly affects the sebaceous-gland-rich areas of skin. In adolescents and adults, seborrhoeic dermatitis usually presents as scalp scaling similar to dandruff or as mild to marked erythema of the nasolabial fold.
Dermatologists recommend topical treatments such as shampoos, cleansers or creams/lotions that contain antifungal, anti-inflammatory, sebo-suppressive or keratolytic ingredients:One combination approach combines a dandruff shampoo, antifungal agent and topical steroid .
Hope it helps
