I have a sudden problem with my skin, red patches. Can anyone help?
starla_o0 asked:
The problem is with the skin on my face. I rarely get spots. Maybe 2 or 3 a year, just before my period. My skin can also be quite dry, especially in the winter. Recently it has been exceptionally dry, even though I moisturise twice or three times a day. Recently I’ve had alternating patches of red spots on my face. Sometimes they’re on my chin, other times on my cheek and sometimes my forehead. They fade through the day but new ones appear the next day. Any idea what this could be? Thanks
I don’t use soap as it aggrevates my skin and anything else I use has been the same for years because my skin is so fussy. Thought I might mention I also have mild eczema but the patches on my face are not the same as the rest of my body

It could just be because of the cold weather. I use nivea cream at night as i have dry skin and have been getting very red dry skin under my chin. Nivea has helped its worth a try. dannij77
often thats allergy related..to maybe a soap or clothing dye…have you changed your daily habits any to cause that. koalatcomics
yeah, weather seems to play a part. need to apply moisturise to your sensitive skin. mel
You should direct such questions to a medical professional. robert m
Hi,
Not to worry, a help may come your way.
I have two different cases similar to yours, read each and see which matches your situation: (1) PROTOPOR PHYRIA - symptoms: Skin lesions usually fades without scarring or pigmenation. (2) PSORIASIS - symptoms: A chronic Skin disease characterized by reddish marginated patches with profuse silvery scaling on extensor surface but may be widespread. It is non infectious and the cause is unknown.
You did not ask for remedies, so if any of these matches your situation please get intouch. ikechukwu fidelis e
