I don't know what the problem is, but it just started one day, and if I get rid of the flakey skin, the next day it is back again. I have tried my ezema cream on it, didn't help. Tried Vitamin E oil, didn't help. Any ideas?

Any chance you suffer from sebborrheic dermatitis (don't know if I spelled that right)? It's a severe flaking of the scalp that is worse in extreme weather changes. If so, then that's probably connected. Apply Nizoral shampoo on the area (being careful not to get in the eye) and leave on for like 2 minutes. Rinse and repeat once daily until it goes away (often with the first use). My dermatologist recommended this because the skin between my eyebrows always gets severly flaky and lotion/moisturizer does nothing. Good luck to you.

1 How old are you? How old were you when you started breaking out? I'm 18 now. I started breaking out when I was 16. Never really had much acne before then. 2 Is your skin always clear, do you get spots sometimes, or do you almost always have a breakout? I get pimples near my period. I usually get one of two somewhere around my mouth, and maybe the odd one around my forehead. They usually clear up once my period's done though. 3 What face wash do you use? Clean and Clear Morning Burst (the purifying one in the blue bottle). 4 Do you use face masks or scrubs or anything? What kind? I use St. Ives products for this. I use their clay firming mask at night (sometimes I skip it, but I try to do it quite a few nights a week). I also use their Apricot scrub once or twice a week. 5 What brand make up do you wear? What do you wear (foundation, concealor?, ect) Just drug store brands. I like Maybelline and Cover Girl products. I change the brand I use frequently because I'm looking for the best product for my skin (most of the best products I've used are Cover Girl). 6 How much makeup do you wear? Usually just concealer, foundation, and a bit of mascara. Sometimes some eyeshadow too. 7 What spot treatments do you use? Clean and Clear Persa-Gel 5. I put that on any pimples before I go to bed. 8 Do you eat junk food or healthy? I eat both healthy foods and junk food. Probably a bit too much junk food, but oh well. I also drink a lot of water. Water's a big help.

See a doctor. It is almost positively some kind of dry skin. Try lotion (but be careful not to get it in your eyes) or aloe. The doctor can prescribe you something stronger then you can get over the counter..

try using Stye cream from your local Rite Aid or something. I had eyelid problems for ten years and that was one of many things that was helpful

I had this happen to me; see a dermatologist. They can prescribe a stronger type of creme to help it go away.

I had the same thing! still do once in a while.
Just use a normal chapstick and it should go away.

It could be psoriasis.
