Oh, facial eczema is the absolute worst and so painful too. Please don't use any physical scrubs or heavy makeup on those patches right now. Just stick to a simple ceramide cream and let your skin heal gently.

I had red flaky patches near my nose last winter. I stopped using my regular face wash and switched to a super mild cetaphil cleanser. Applied a basic moisturizer on wet skin twice a day and it cleared up in two weeks.

I have dealt with skin issues for decades. The face is very sensitive, so don't try too many different remedies at once. Just wash with normal water, keep it hydrated with simple petroleum jelly, and give it time to settle.

Since it is on your face, please do not experiment with home remedies or family tips. Go see a qualified dermatologist immediately to get the right diagnosis and safe medication.

My face flares up whenever I am highly stressed or dehydrated. Regular light workouts and drinking at least 3 liters of water daily helps keep my skin calm. Just make sure to wipe away sweat immediately with a soft cloth.

My doctor emphasized that facial skin is very thin, so we should never use strong steroid creams without guidance. She put me on a gentle tacrolimus ointment and told me to completely avoid hot water on my face.
