Dry Scale Patches

Asked for Female, 37 years

I visited the hillside area and enjoyed snowfall. After my return, I am having dry scaly patches on my face & hand. The skin is reddish and sensitive. It also gets itchy, especially at nights. Can you recommend any cream? Also, would oral medication be required or not?

Dear Patient,

Try using milk based soap like dove or cetaphil to take a bath. Apply physiogel to moist skin after that. This will help. If it doesn't kindly see a dermatologist.
