I'm probably answering my own question, but i have a large dry patch on the side of my face and couldnt figure out where it came from. From reading other questions about dry patches i remembered I recently had a huge pimple and got a little obsessive with constantly washing it with antibacterial soap. So i assume that the huge red dry patch is from over cleansing with antibacterial soap causing my face to loose its good bacteria and causing a dry patch? is that correct or should i see a doctor. If i shouldnt see a doctor what should i do as far as home remedies to make it go away?

it could something simple, but if a skin moisterizer does not help then i would see a doctor just to be on the safe side. antibacterial soaps can cause problems, just as you mentioned. Only a trained doctor can tell you what is happening and he may even refer you to a dermo..specialist. best wishes.

Use Vics Vapo Rub. Know it sounds weird but it will open the spot. If you have been over cleansing the area is "closed off" the Vics will open it up and make it moister...seriously..works for dry patches, pimples, acne, fever blisters, and believe it or not wrinkles....just try it, it is cheap and WORKS

Eczema~ you have to go see your doctor for a prescription. Also every time after taking a shower/bath you should moisturize your body. Try not using lotion with perfume or flagrance in it.
However, I might be wrong for what you have. soory if I am. Good luck to ya!
