What Could Explain Itching And Dryness On Neck, Nose, Cheeks And Chin?
Hello, My face has recently been itchy, along with my neck and underneath my chin. It started on the left corner outside of my left eye and then around my nose and now my cheeks are itchy. My eye no longer hurts (although around my brow sometimes is itchy) but my nose remains dry, but not itchy.

Hello,
I can understand your concern for itching and dryness on neck, nose, cheeks and chin.
You have not mentioned your age, sex and related part of any other illness so that I could have deduced the most probable cause of the itching and dryness on neck, nose, cheeks and chin.
In my view it could be due to simple atopy or allergic dermatitis or due to seborrheic dermatitis of the dace area.
In my patients, I suggest then to avoid direct contact with environment and especially avoid cold or extreme of hot weather Avoid direct sunlight.
I suggest my patients to apply a cream containing mild steroid such as hydrocortisone and take antihistamine like cetrizine.
Hope the information helps.
