Dry, Peeling skin on face?

Question

I think it's because of the face wash i had (yes i've stopped using it) but all on my cheeks and around the mouth is really dry skin. The cheek has gotten better, but because i've peeled at it a bit there is a red mark that looks like a new scar. I really have no idea if that's what it is because i don't remember scars burning if rubbing alcohol gets on it. Anyways, mainly it's got a bunch of dry peeling skin around my mouth and it's almost impossible to peel. The only thing moisturizer does is cover up the fact that it is peeling, but not for a long time at all. Also, where i have managed to peel has left kind of orange spots under my lip so it looks like i just drank kool-aid and it stained my lip, but i don't know how long that will go away.

So if you have an suggestions and estimations on how long it will take, your help is greatly appreciated.

If you where make up always wash your face at night I heard so bacteria won't go down your pores and cause pimples , blackheads all that stuff use if you want you could use the dove soap bar on t.v. they cure dryskin. After you wash your face  when your going to bed put vaseline( petroleum jelly) on the dry skin patches or all over your face .

If you want you could go to the store and buy a little bottle of vitamin e they sell it at jewel osco rub it on your dry skin . I went to the doctor for my dryskin and the doc. told me that walnuts,peanuts,avocados,sunflower seeds,almonds carry alot of vitamen e. you should eat foods that carry alot of different vitamens.

It could be a case of eczema.  Try putting some cortizon cream on it.  It should help and it is worth the try!

Answer 8

that happened to me too :( and i just used a super strong moisterizer, exfoaliting face mask,and tried to stay out of the sun. For the orange spots, you could try using a cover up or foundation. (most of the peeling went away in 1-2 days)
