I have dry, flaky skin under my eyebrows and around my nose.Is there anything I could do to cure it w/o a Prescription


The dry skin is all under my eyebrow, on and around my nose, where my ears meet my face, in my ears- in all the crevices. I just recently started having this problem about a month ago. Before my skin was just slightly dry- now its getting worse. It almost seems like it is spreading in a sense. Because it started with some flaky skin under my eyebrows and then a noticed I had dry skin in my ear and now my nose? I can't get to a doctor until march are there any home solutions or over the counter products you know that can fix this?

Try using 100% cocoa butter (not lotion). You want to get the expensive kind that comes like a paste, usually found in bath and body stores. Cocoa butter naturally hydrates and repairs excessively dry skin. I'm not sure if you can put it in your ears, though. Sorry.
Reply:it could be a deficiancy in some vitamins/minerals so check your diet that your eating enough fruit / vegtables aand drinking enough water :) fish oil tablets may also help . in the meantime you could try putting vasiline on the dry areas of skin . good luck ! p.s if symptoms dont improve go and see your doc to check its not something else .
Reply:Try cocoa butter! It's never failed me. Look in drug stores, dollar stores, or Wal-Mart. You'll find it in the hand lotions section. The very best is the 100% pure cocoa butter that comes in a small white tube. You can apply it right from the tube, or rub some on your fingertips %26amp; then apply it right where you need it. Use just enough to make the dry patches seem to disappear; if you use too much, it may clog your pores %26amp; cause pimples. Be sure to use 100% pure cocoa butter for best results! Many products say cocoa butter on the label, but often have a lot of water %26amp; other ineffective ingredients %26amp; very, very little cocoa butter. So read the label! (Don't wear it to bed, as it will leave greasy marks on your pillowcase.)
Reply:Sounds to me like sebhorreic dermatitis. One possible cause of this can be the same culprit which is responsible for dandruff in hair, namely a type of yeast which lives off the oil in your skin.


Try using anti-dandruff shampoo such as Head %26amp; Shoulders; when washing your hair, wash the lather around your face (keeping your eyes shut, of course, when massaging your brows). Wait for a few seconds before thoroughly rinsing.


(Anti-dandruff shampoos often fail to work because people rinse it out too quickly, not giving it time to work.)


Hopefully your skin will get better within about a month.
