Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dryness and infection on face, well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like acne , psoriasis , seborrheic dermatitis , allergic reaction and trigeminal neuralgia. For now wash your face with cold water and mild soap , apply moisturizer and do not apply any cosmetic product. Drink plenty of water. You should take vitamin B12 supplements as well. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order complete blood profile or skin test. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clindamycin or minocyclin at least for 10 days along with anti inflammatory and steroid ointment. You should take diet rich in multivitamins.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
