I had a similar issue years ago and this got me into the process of researching health because doctors weren't much of a help.
I'm not 100% if it's exact same but similar; flaky skin across my hairline, eyebrows, and facial hair area. But at a point got really bad and spread to my cheeks and forehead due to excessive itching, scratching and applying anything or everything I'd be recommended to use.
Was recommended steroid creams, but they were just band-aid solutions, and immediate stopped when finding out about their cancer risk. At the time this was a big eye opener for me about medical industry, one of the creams recommended by the doctors had to legally label a warning of cancer risk because of the lawsuits they received.
This condition would spread easily from touch/itching it or try rubbing flakes off, just gets worse, so best if you can, not to touch or itch at all unless your applying something light.
I've applied "natural" herbal creams, like claendua helped sooth and conceal but didn't really solve the underlying flare up condition.
These were found to be the big main triggers;
- Eating anything that irritates my gut or is difficult to digest; wheat, beans, emulsifier additives. Most likely causing "leaky gut" and inflammation.
- Skipping a day from wash my face+hair with just water in showers. Something secreting in combination with sebum that is irritating/inflaming the surface of the skin and needs to be washed off daily.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the issues exacerbated from PUFA intake, even though I was in my early twenties.
So currently my skin is a lot better now. Actually best it's been in years, even better than when I was in high school.
Things that help:
- Liver, vitamin A, overall proper nutrition, avoid pufa.
- Avoiding wheat, beans, gar-gum anything hard on the gut or to digest.
- Avoid itching.
- Avoid irritating shampoos with additives
- Washing face+hair with just water. Baking+AVC once in a while for the hair.
Thank you for your contribution.
My skin is actually in perfect form and constantly glowing, clean, soft like a baby's skin. The problems occur when I grow out long hair whether it is scalp hair or beard hair. The only thing that I could take from your list that might be needed to change for me, is a higher Vitamin A intake.
