Dry patches on face, what to use?

[Roshbegosh]

Fostering a 12yo boy, will take him to GP as soon as I get an appointment but in the meantime, can anyone suggest a cream for bumpy and dried out patches on his face? There was one persistent dry area on his cheek with the skin peeling off, the size of a 5p coin, and now it has spread all over his face.

Will it give him spots? He is worried about getting teenage spots and he will be upset about this. He hates me to fuss, hates the doctor etc
