The sides of my nose and my eye brows keeps on shedding skin. Any guesses as to what I might have?

Question

I wasn't worried about it when I first had this problem because I thought maybe it was a sunburn and thought my skin would heal by itself, but i had this problem about almost half a year already. Everytime I wet my face, my skin turns white and when I wipe off all the white, my skin turns really red. In about 3 days the skin grows back, but starts to shed again. I'm guessing it might be dry skin. I did put some cream to moisturize the skin, but that didn't really work. I hope it's not anything serious.

Answer 1

You may want to get that checked out. Sounds like leprosey.

Answer 3

Are you just using "lotion" (the cheapest crappiest type of skin product), or are you using creme, or something better than that?

Also, check the soap you might be using, could be the pH, and normal bar soap for bodies sometimes really messes up different oils in the the "T Zone" that zone you just described, of eyebrows and nose. Anyway switch to a milder facial soap for when you wash your face, and if it persists see a dermatologist. Could be eczema.

Answer 4

I would use a face treatment that takes the shedding skin off then use a good lotion. I use loreal they have a lot of good products. Get one that uses and acid to remove skin cells.

Answer 5

Gloves in a Bottle is a shielding lotion that rapidly absorbs into, and bonds with, the outer layer of skin creating a protective layer while retaining the natural moisture from within.

It does not wash off, but comes off naturally with exfoliated skin cells. Just reapply every four hours for continued protection.

Greaseless, non-sticky, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, completely safe and non-toxic.

Specific dry skin conditions
Certain medical or age-related conditions can lead to dry skin problems that have unique signs and symptoms. These include:

Ichthyosis vulgaris. Sometimes called fishscale disease or fish skin disease, ichthyosis vulgaris develops when skin cells fail to shed normally and instead accumulate in thick, dry scales. The scales are small, polygonal in shape and range in color from white to brown. They're most common on the lower legs and may be especially thick and dark over your shins. Ichthyosis vulgaris may also cause scalp flaking and deep, painful fissures on your palms and soles. Children with the inherited form of the disorder usually have normal skin at birth but develop scaling and roughness in the first few years of life. At times, ichthyosis vulgaris may disappear during the adult years, only to return as you age.
Lamellar ichthyosis. This severe form of the disease is present at birth and lasts throughout life. Infants with lamellar ichthyosis are born encased in a filmy membrane that's shed after 10 to 14 days, revealing skin that's covered in scales. The scales can range from fine and white to thick and dark and generally occur over the entire body, although they may be larger on the legs. Lamellar ichthyosis can be extremely disfiguring and may cause great psychological suffering for children and adults with the disease.
Asteatotic eczema (eczema craquele). This condition causes dry, scaly, deeply fissured skin that some doctors have described as resembling cracked porcelain or a dry riverbed. The affected skin may become inflamed, itchy and may bleed. Although asteatotic eczema can affect anyone, it's especially common in older adults, occurring primarily on the shins and sometimes on the thighs, hands and trunk.
Psoriasis. A frustrating and sometimes disfiguring skin condition, psoriasis is marked by reddened skin with dry, silvery scales that sometimes resemble dandruff. In severe cases, your skin may crack, bleed and form pus-filled blisters. Psoriasis is a persistent, chronic disease that tends to flare periodically, and although it may go into remission, it usually remains active for years. It can occur at any age, but the onset is usually gradual and the diagnosis is commonly made between the ages of 15 and 35.

It sounds like dry skin [I have basically the same thing], but if you're worried, I would go to a dermotologist.

I think you have seborrheic dermatitis, it is not as bad as psoriasis, you can at least keep it under control. I suggest a bottle of dermarest that you can find at your local walmart.
