A member asked:

I think i have allergies. very dry skin. hurts when i put moisturizer on it. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dry skin: Some people who have allergies also have dry skin to go with it. Use petroleum jelly or Aquaphor frequently throughout the day and immediately after bathing.. Avoid drying soaps or skin products with alcohol and fragrances.

The first thing I did was stop using all products besides face wash and just use hydrocortisone cream. This helped for about 3 days, it made my skin dry which I thought was just healing it. I was told to put on moisturizer, as soon as I did that it?
