7 Years Old. Having Dry, Rough Skin On Face, Lips Started Pealing. What Is The Issue?
My daughter is 7 years old and the past couple of days, she s had really dry and rough skin on her face. She is highly allergic to many things but I feel like this isn t a breakout. I put Benadryl on her face to stop the itching but she complained that it burned. What can be her issue? Also, her lips are starting to peal.

Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Your child seems to have a dry skin due to seasonal variation.
You can apply moisturizing lotion like dermadew or cetaphil to skin of face twice or thrice daily to maintain face hydration.
In the morning apply immediately after the bathing to retain water in skin layers to maintain hydration.
For lips you can apply cold cream or a lip balm.
Hope I have answered your query.
