Dermatitis: It sounds like you have a condition called seborrhic dermatitis. It is caused by over active skin oil, glands in the areas you describe. Infrequent use of a cortisone cream your doctor can prescribed is the best way to keep it under control. Cortisone should not be used for more than a week or so at a time on the face. Consult with your family doctor or a dermatologist.

Dry skin: Try carmex to your lips and Hydrocortisone 1% to the other areas in addition to lotion. If no improvement, see a dermatologist.
