Dry Dace, Lip, Chin, Taking Cetaphil, Vaseline. What Is Wrong?

I have been getting dryness in parts of my face from the lower lip , chin and now both sides of my chin. I m experiencing this every morning which started autumn last year. I was given cetaphil which I use daily. However, cetaphil only helps for a few minutes and those parts get dry again. I used vaseline which helped me a lot but aggravated my dust allergies. I tried using natural oils like sweet almond oil combined with calendula oil and it s still not working. I ve seen a dematologist before but she doesn t seem to know what to do with me and has prescribed expensive lotions, like Exomega to treat this problem. What could possibly be wrong?

Hi ! Thanks for writing . First stop all the cream you are using. Avoid too hot or too cold temprature. If that part skin pores are block give steam to your face and clean it. If vaseline help apply it and cover your face when you go outside . Just to keep your skin pores open. Take antiallergy pills too. If problem remain same do consult your dermatologist. Take care. Bye.
