Weird dry patch 😬

For the last couple of weeks I have this dry patch next to my nose. It's sometimes itchy, flacky, red and sensitive. I never had this problem before and I also didn't change anything. I was thinking I might have a damedged skin barrier. Can someone help ?

It might be due to stress or inflammation or even bug bite. Let it cool off for a day, if you still find irritation etc try using moisturizing lotion. It can also be early start of sun hyperpigmentation

It could be any number of things- a fungal infection, eczema, damaged skin barrier, an allergic reaction to something, etc. This might seem a bit silly, but maybe make an appt w your primary care doc? Or a derm if u have quick access to one. It might be worth getting it checked out, at least to rule out some stuff and make sure it doesnt require medical attention, and if it doesnt, simplify your routine and focus on repairing your skin barrier. Best of luck!!
