A member asked:
I have a small patch of dry skin on my right cheek. it's barely visible, but it appeared at least 6 months ago and hasn't gone away. any suggestions?

See dermatology: Since ity is on your face, and still barely visible, I would see the skin specialist to be safe. It may something as simple as using a steroid cream for a few weeks, but be safe and see the Specialist who went to Medical school and training for 7-8 years, so you get the best care. Good luck.
