Hi I hope someone can help me, Basically about two weeks ago I started getting a rash type thing on both sides of my nose , and forehead , its made my skin red around my nose and get very flaky around the area and it becomes soft and grey when ever I wash my face, I dont know what it is but I do have acne and my doctor prescribed Tetralysal for it so it could be a side effect to that? I avoid touching the area as I hoped it would naturally heal, but all that happens it the flakes build up so I m forced to clean it, Its really starting to effect myself confidence, please help what is this? and is it treatable!?
Hello would be pleased to answer your question Skin around the nose getting flaky and red is a sign of a side effect of the cream or face wash. You should a mild steroid prescribed from your GP. You should use a mild cleanser called Detail Cleansing lotion. It is a temporary flakiness which would surely go away with the steroid cream.  Thanks and Take care
