Dry And Flaking Skin By Side Of Nostrils, Burning. Due To Seborrhic Dermatitis?

Hi, I have dry skin on the sides of my nostrils which is white and flaky and dry. It is causing me lot of burning when I wash my face with water. I have been facing this problem since the past 3 weeks or so. I read on the internet and found that this could be due to Seborrheic dermatitis . I have not consulted any doctors yet. Can one of you please suggest me how to get rid of this problem. I have never had any skin problems ever in my life. I am 37 and am a healthy adult. I look forward to your reply. Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
There is nothing to be worried about.
It can be seborrheic dermatitis.
You can use medicated shampoo like Salisia KT shampoo.
You can use Zydip C lotion once a day at scalp and skin.
Also you can take tablet Zyrtec for itching.
These will help a lot.
Visit a qualified dermatologist or physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.


Hope this helps.
Regards
