Aa
flaky skin
I don't get dandruff....or at least on my scalp...I seem to only get it on my forehead and eyebrows.
This morning it was so bad that it looked like I had been peeling after a bad sunburn.
The flakes of skin were dropping off in huge pieces.
I've been told to use moisturizers...which do nothing but cause a rash. Aloe-Vera burns my skin. Allergic to something in Noxzema...causes me to stop breathing.
I have very sensitive skin as you can see. lol
Have tied that Bio oil, but it stings my eyes when I put it anywhere near my face.
I have suffered with eczema my entire life...and winter skin that is so bad that if I wash my hands too many times a day my knuckles crack and bleed.
Red barn ointment seems to help a bit for the knuckles, but I think it's too greasy to use in the facial area.
Anyone have any suggestions?
So embarrassed...

have you tried bag balm? I had an old roommate who had very sensitive skin and this was the only thing she could use without it irritating her skin. It is sold in most drug stores (originally was marketed/sold as treatment for cow udders, hence the name)....that or "Corn Huskers Lotion" (Corn Huskers for the hands only not the face)...my dad got terrible cracked knuckles and fingers in winter and swore by this stuff....hope that helps at least a bit...
I had this problem last month and the dermatologist prescribed a type of "wash" called "Clenia" - it's a SULFACETAMIDE/SULFUR CLEANSER - and it helped. But you also need a moisturizer with aloe & cortisone in it. Try
Peter Thomas roth Aloe-Cort Cream -available on Amazon. Or Derma-Topix Aloe Cort cream [ [cheaper ]...also available on Amazon.
