Dreid cracked skin around nose.?

Question

Ok so I've been having dried cracked skin around the nose ever since I started using Stievamysin(Acne gel) so i think that's the cause of my dried skin. Around my nose it dark red and it starts shedding skin in redicioulous amounts. If it try to put moisturizers on it, it just stings but if i don't touch it, it just feels dry. I excercise everyday and you don't want to know how it feels on my skin, ouch! What can I use on it that i can buy that's for sensitive skin, or if I don't use anything how long will it take to heal. It's kind of weird that this is happening during the summer, but it must be the gel.

Maybe you could cut down your use---as in every other day..My daughter uses Neutrogena Acne Face Wash and her skin cleared up in 4 days!  I know it was 4 days because she went to her Dad's for 4 days and came back gorgeous (I bought it for her when she left)!  She was already beautiful anyway, just, you know, teen ANGST and such about a few zits.  Anyway, I will speak with my sister who was a triage RN at a derm office tonight and let you know what she says tomorrow am...And BTW, YA officials, I am not chatting, this answer is intended for the general public.  Thanks and have a nice day.

Edit:  another BTW, Cetaphil lotion and soap are awesome too..I know for a fact that my derm recommended this when I was your age and I still use it..I have naturally very oily skin and am prone to break outs--this stuff stops the bumps from even happening..but, of course, I am 20 years older than you and my skin is not so HORMONAL...or maybe it is....naw, I'm not THAT old---(menopause)  LMFAO

Have a great day, George...and why aren't you in school?

Edit:  Just spoke with her..she says you are probably using too much and too often...a pea size should be enough to cover your entire face...and  her office always recommended Cetaphil moisturizer...and one more thing..just apply it to the areas that you really need it.
