I get the same way, only its also the corners of my mouth. I get it bc of my acne meds/face wash. What got rid of it for me was using a high quality, fragrance-free, non-comodegenic (sp?) moisturizer for extra dry skin. I would apply it liberally each time i washed my face. I recommend vaseline Advanced Healing or Oil of Olay fragrance-free moisturizer. Good luck.

Psoriasis???

before you start blathering useless babble why don't you figure out what your'e talking about first. Do his symptoms really sound like a case of psoriasis to you, or do you feel like post whoring more stupid litter on this forum like in the lounge? Sounds like you still haven't shook your crackhabit.

i agree with helios, could be your face wash? use any kind of moisturizer? do you have naturally dry or oily skin?

I have the same thing. What helped me was to start specificially using a facial soap with moisturizer.

Sounds like dandruff . . . there's a few different causes, from nutrition, emotional distress, to bacteria or fungus, to just plain dry skin.

You're probably eating ok, and assuming you're not too stressed out, I'd say it was caused by one of the last 3 causes, in which case you could try shampooing with Head & Shoulders or Pine Tar shampoo. If it's a fungus, you could try dabbing your eyebrows with a bit of vinegar twice a day (vinegar works pretty well at zapping fungus); if this is your problem, you'll see results in a few days.
If vinegar doesn't help, try bacitracin for a few days. If that doesn't help, it's time to see a dermatologist.
Good luck . . .
