Suggest Remedies For Dryness And Itching Sensation On The Face

About 2 weeks ago my face became extremely dry and itchy then the next day the left side stung like a sun burn, it has continued to get worse now the left side of my face and head hurts even to touch and feels a little numb. The only thing that had changed was a new medication which I had only taken for 30 days and I had finished a few days before these symptoms began. (Estradiol for hot flashes) and I had a biopsy on my left arm the day before my symptoms began both my Drs say this would not have caused these symptoms. The headache and itching on my left side is really getting painful and irritating.
