Hi,
The thing about my skin is it has never flaked, it is just plasticy. When I wash my face, i see the scales that are all shiny and have a dry texture but this never flakes and when I exfoliate the shinyness increases. The steroid cream has done nothing to help, I was wondering why the skin has this texture and how I could help my skin regain moisture and go back to normal.
Thank you
Hello,
Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky,dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp under the nose or anywhere on face. Topical antifungals and mild steroids are the usual treatment and combination of the two can be used to treat stubborn patches. Oral antifungal drugs and immunomodulators such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus are used in very severe cases.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
