Have a redness and dryness to my face that I have never had before. Skin flakes off between nose and corner of mouth. Cheekbones beneath eyes flaky. Also on left side have a raised red bump that flakes off like my skin at corner of mouth and corner of eye. Have put on extra moisturizer, both day and night that doesn't seem to have made a big difference. 1sr time I have had difficulty with akin.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having allergy to some cosmetic product.

After knowing the trigger factor, you should try to avoid it.

I would advise that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by a Dermatologist.

You can apply skin cream containing steroid and antibiotic.
Oral antihistamine like Fexofenadine 120 mg once a day can be taken if itching is present.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
