Extremely dry skin on face...

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
How do I get rid of it?

I have two patches of extremely dry skin on either side of my mouth that just won't go away and they look nasty. You know the "milk mustache" look kids get after it dries on? That's how the sides of my face look, and it's near my mouth, so I look like I have food all over my face all the time. At first, I was putting heavy duty cream on it, a couple times a day, and I thought it cleared it up, but then after a week, it came back, much moreso. I've been putting a&d ointment on it (always worked with other dry skin issues for me before) every time I go to the bathroom, but it still doesn't hide it more than a few minutes. I look like a freak! What to do?!

When my son gets ridiculously chaped skin around his mouth, I use medicated chaptick. I put it right on the spots around his mouth that are dry/red/flaky. Works like a charm My mom always jokes that she wishes she had thought of that when i was a kid. I always had the red toungue ring around my lips as a child.
