Products?: Ate you using any skin care products on your face? Many times, a retinoid like retin a, (tretinoin) etc. Will cause drying of the skin and peeling. If that is the case, you may want to use a stronger moisturizer or cut the use of the retinoid back to 3 times a week. See a dermatologist to get on a good regimen.

VisualDX: Hi, it’s hard to say without a picture but there is a great app that may be able to help you get a diagnosis without being seen in person by a dermatologist. The app is called VisualDX and is one of the best, if not the best out there. Many clinicians, including myself, use it. Just snap a photo and it gives you a list of possible diagnoses. Good luck!
