Started zenatane 4 days ago and scratched nose today, it peeled skin off my face. i've been using a medicated lotion derm prescribed. what to do??

Side effect of med: That is commonly seen with high dose vitamin A. I tell my patients to take Vitamin E 500 IU to reduce dryness of skin, but at this point just put some aquaphor on it and keep it covered. This can happen anywhere as your skin is more sensitive.
