Very dry, scaly facial skin

I suffer from patches of red skin, initially its just red and itchy but then can take days / weeks to heal - I often scratch it raw at night (despite taking antihistimines) and have found the only 'cure' to be steroid creams (not great I know) I think allergies make it worse and have tried to stop using products with parabens and sulphates (have found they make it worse) - is there anything else that anyone has tried that works?

(most tly this is on my face but can be anywhere especially in my hair or on hands)

Re: Very dry, scaly facial skin

Hi there,

Why not try asking a British Skin Foundation expert in an upcoming clinic?

It's also worth visiting your GP if your symptoms persist.

Hope that helps,
Lisa
