I am African American and I have been experiencing dry. flaky, itchy , dull skin on my face only, what is it?

I live in a humid climate ( louisiana) and I use well water to bathe and cook with could that be the problem or an allergy. I usally have great skin, but this is becoming a problem. Also my skin burns all of the time. This is only affecting my face. I use cleansers that claim sensitvity, I use Eucerin calming cream, but nothing is helping and my doctor is a quack that told me that I probably have an allergy, but I would just have to live with it.

could be eczema
Reply:As the previous poster indicated, you might have eczema. And your doctor may also be correct in that you may have an allergy. There are tests that you can take to find out what you may be allergic to, so press on even if you have to consult with another doctor. You may be allergic to products that are Petroleum %26amp; mineral oil based, and I suggest you try moisturizers such as olive oil, aloe vera, and shea butter. See www.Carolsdaughter.com for alternatives. Also please try boiling and filtering your water before drinking and using it on your body. Hope it works.
