Suggest Treatment For Dry And Peeling Skin On Face
Age: 26 , weight: 50 kg, Sex:Female. Skin has been flaking and peeling on my face(forehead and nose) for the past 2 weeks. I do not know what triggered it. I had been applying turmeric and curd on my face daily prior to this. After the skin started drying and flaking I stopped. In the beginning it also used to itch. Now I keep applying lotion and coconut oil at night. But still it has not cured completely.

hi, welcome to HCM,
flaking and peeling of skin of forehead, nasolabial fold is a sign of seborrheic dermatitis.
use cyclopirox oleamin 1% shampoo for bath. apply it over scalp, face and neck. leave it for 5 minutes then wash.
apply emosone M cream+ emollient twice daily.
take tab cetrizine 10 mg once daily.
hope this will resolve your problem.
thanks
