What could i use to help my skin rash around my mouth? Please help...?

First, please bear in mind i cannot go to my doctor because they only work in mornings and the queue is literally 150 people long, around half of those people get sent home (even at 7:00 in the morning)





Anyway here's the story:





Once upon a time, a school boy of 14 years of age had flakes around his mouth.


He had these flakes around his mouth for 2 months.


He decided it was time he did something about it.


He put dove cream on his mouth and hours later his mouth turned red.


HE WAS ALLERGIC TO IT.


For 2 weeks, his mouth has been red and flakey.


He went on yahoo answers and asked if he should put aqueous cream to treat it.


They told him yes.


He put it on, and it went VERY red.


It was so red, that he decided to put his mothers mousse make up thing on his face to blend it out.


It worked, however, the next day it was redder than ever!


He is still looking for answers...





- IF UR A DOCTOR OR ANYTHING MEDICALLY RELATED PLEASE WRITE IN YOUR ANSWER! -





Thankin all that answer|||It sounds like eczema.





Some dermatologists recommend using Cetaphil cream, which is over the counter. Cetaphil is fragrance-free and doesn't have a lot of harsh chemicals, so it shouldn't make your skin red.





It helps to apply your cream or lotion right when your skin is wet, in order to absorb better.





It also helps to gently exfoliate your skin, which helps remove the flakes.





You may also want to consider food allergies. Sometimes eczema is the result of a food you're allergic to. Peanuts, milk, oranges, and shellfish are most common. It might be helpful to keep a food journal and see if you notice a connection.





Also consider what shampoo and soap you're using. Is it something new? You may be allergic to it. Using fragrance-free soap or cleanser is usually best for sensitive skin. This is a great product - http://www.californiababy.com/super-sens...





Stress is a factor too. If you have a lot of stress, it can definitely cause skin irritations. Chamomile tea is good for stress relief.|||Yeah, go to the Dr. anyways!
