Hello!
I'm 14 year old boy. I have problems with my skin. I have an infection, but i don't know, what kind of infection it is. I have red spots on my face and in places these spots are surrounded by a small wall. Skin is sometimes dry (especially with some creams) and desquamates. Sometimes it's more ruddy and sometimes less. It's on my cheeks, nose and chin. I had it on my head too. Or i think, that it was the same. I had there red spots, but not anymore. I had scurf also, but not anymore. And my skin desquamated a little bit in my ears also, but there in ears i didn't have red spots or something and not a big desquamateing. At summer, when it's sunny and i swim in a pool where is chlorine water, about 4 hours, then i don't have it on next day. Sun helps probably, but i have read, that it can cause skin cancer after a long time, if you use UV lamps, to repair it. Maybe chlorine helps also and water probably also. Hydrocortisone is very effective, but if you use it over 7 days, it can cause other type of infections. It helps after 1-3 days, but not for a very long time. At my age it can be acne also, but i'm not sure, is it acne. What it can be? What would help? I uploaded some pictures also.
