What is the cause for redness around my mouth and eyebrows which is very dry and flaky?
Patient: Yes thank you!I have redness around my mouth,above my eyebrows, and the top of my nose bridge. These areas are very dry and flaky. I try washing or wiping the areas but as soon  as the flakes are removed it returns. I have very sensitive skin. Sometimes the redness goes away for a few days or weeks but it does return. Not sure if something I am allergic too or using wrong skin care products. Doctor: Hello,Welcome to healthcare magic.From your description, you could be having seborrhoeic dermatitis.It is a condition similar to dandruff on the scalp. It will benefit with a 2% ketoconazole cream used twice a day for 10-15 days. It could recur, hence use a ketoconazole containing shampoo on alternate days during bath. Leave it on the affected areas for 5 minutes and wash off. Use mild cleansers like cetaphil cleanser. Hope this helps you.Take care.
