A member asked:

Right before and during my menstruation,my face get these dry,flaky spots. what is this and how do i stop it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a dermatologist: It sounds like some form of dermatitis, possibly sun-related, that is aggravated by the hormone changes before and during your period. I would suggest seeing a dermatologist.,try to schedule your appointment around the time it happens so they can see it.
