Does Usage Of Collagen Capsules Help In Preventing Skin Shedding?

My skin has a lot of shedding especially around my hair --on my face, ears, neck and back. I am 66 years old and have lyposarcoma. I do not get any discoloration on my skin, but the shedding of the skin is very annoying and uncomfortable. I take very good care of my skin and keep it as clean as possible. I think it is contact dermatitis. Would a collagen supplement in pill form help this condition?
