Tried face mask now got dry flaky patch on forehead?

Hi,

I tried about 2 weeks back one of those clay masks that you buy, and thought what the hell I'll give this a go. In the last week or so I've developed a dry flaky patch on my forehead, about 1x1 cms. I've tried rubbing it with a face washer that gets rid of a lot of the dry skin but makes it look inflamed and hurts. I've been applying an aloe vera moisturizer to it but doesn't seem to do much. Also tried using an apricot scrub.

I've never had dry or flaky skin before using that mask so am assuming that's the cause. What should I do? Somewhere I read that olive oil is good...I've got olive leaf extract liquid form, or olive oil that is used for cooking. Is either of these good?

Thanks
