Why do i have dry skin on my face that turns into scabs?

Needs examination: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining the lesions and taking a history. Are the lesions worse on exposure to sun? Your description suggests examination for discoid lupus. See this site for more info. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1065529-overview.
