Dermatology - Dryness and Redness


Expert: Uribe - 10/19/2009

Question
Dear Uribe,

during high school I suffered from horrible acne, but now it has been gone for about 3 years. However I find myself always having dry skin around the nose and mouth area, and gets inflamed/red when I make movements at small as smiling. It is not always red, good/bad days, however it is extremely annoying. I looked up Seborrheic Dermatitis and my face doesn't look like that at all, it is just red especially in the creases from my nose around the mouth. I use Nivea for Man facial scrub, and it is soothing as other face washes leave me too dry which give me acne. I was wondering if you had any advice?
Thanks very much!
