Hello All, for many years (about 6) I have had a sever problem with dry skin. At first I thought it was dandruff, but as the years progress it has started to affect other areas. The main areas that have dry, flaky skin are: Hair (especially at the hair line), on the sides of my nose, in the ear in between eye brow, in eye brow, and recently I have noticed behind the ear. I have tried everything to help relieve the dry skin, including: lotion (a lot, especially around my nose, because it is the most noticeable) I use anti dandruff shampoo) This has been a never ending problem, and I am going to college in a few months and would really prefer not having it, especially with a room mate and having to slap on lotion every 10 minutes. If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated. (I don't have money to see a dermetologist but if you could tell me, or at least give me an idea of what it could be, I can try to get money to go.) I have seen some threads where they give steroids etc can anyone give me a price range on a visit to a dermetologist (around Charlotte, NC) Please and Thank you
