Dry, rough patches on my face; help!?
Question by Kay: Dry, rough patches on my face; help!?
Lately I’ve finally gotten my acne under control, but these mysterious dry patches keep showing up. My skin is normal in my T-zone area and outer face, but I am getting dry patches near my mouth. I have tried exfoliating, moisturizing, and have religiously been applying Vaseline to these areas. Occasionally the patches dissapear, but they show up within 1-2 days. It is hard for me to put makeup on now (because it shows up.) I’ve had this for about 6 months now. Please help!
My skin care routine [at night]:
- Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser
- Clean and Clear Daily Scrub; Morning Burst
- (sometimes) Sheer Cover Conditioning Cleanser
- Neutrogena Pore Minimizing Toner
- Clean and Clear Astringent+ Spot treatment
- Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion
- Neutrogena Anti-wrinkle Cream (night)
- Vaseline
+ Topical Medication (sulfur?)

Visit the clinic and get the doctor to prescribe a new medication, because you might be getting rashes from one of the lotions or creams. Rub them on a place on your body that is not noticeable and see if any rashes occur. It could be dangerous to continue using these medications.

You prbably have exzema ( spelling). I have it too. When i was little I went to the doctor and she prescribed me Elocon or Momotesone Furoate. dont use so much cleanser and what not JUst cetaphil for washing and Lubiderm for lotion. Also for body wash try and use light ones like dove.
Is it eczema? A dermatologist could give a diagnosis.
If so, less is more when treating it, because your skin is extra sensitive to dyes, fragrances and chemicals.
Sometimes skin irritations like patches, rashes, etc… are an indication of an allergy or sensitivity to something. It could be a response to one of the products you’re using. Food and environmental allergies are a factor as well. Stress can also trigger skin reactions.
It helps to apply a moisturizer to your face while it’s wet. It absorbs better that way.
Try getting some cortisone cream and applying on the affected areas a few times a day (you can get more stronger cortisone creams too). It should clear up in 1-2 weeks.
