It started when I was living in North Carolina around February or March of 2005. Its hard to recall but one day I noticed that the skin around my nose, mainly in the crack, was very dry, red, and scaley. I didn't do anything about it immediately. I moved to southern California in May of '05 and I assumed the climate could fix the redness. It didn't. I started applying the Aquaphor Extreme Dry Skin treatment everyday and everynight. It wasn't until last month when I realized a year and a half had gone by and it was still red. The scales are reduced a lot when the treatment is on but if I stop using it for a day it will all return. My cousin gave me an eye cream treatment for under the eyes and it seemed to start reducing the affected area but it's STILL NOT GONE! Slightly frustrating. I do stay in the sun a lot but why only my nose if the sun is the issue? The climate has no effect since I have moved back and forth many times since. Has anyone experienced the same thing? Any ideas?

Try clotrimazole or Lotrimin (antifungals). If this clears it up then it is likely the dryness is due to one of the skin conditions that candida albicans fungus can cause.
If it does work, then check out www.hufa.org - the yeast link, for more info.

Try a dab of evening primrose oil made by a herbalist.
