Question : My skin around my eyes and down my nose is flaking. I have applied moisterizer but it doesn't help. I've always had a clear complexion. The flaking is very dry.

Possibility of seborrheic dermatitis

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Perhaps you have Seborrheic dermatitis. It presents as flaky red and itchy skin on the sides of nose and other areas of the face. I suggest you to use Desonide 0.05% cream, twice daily for a week.

Hope I have have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
