what is this dry itchy patch of skin by my mouth?

[kissmummy]

it appeared about a week ago. normally my skin is really good. it's very dry, very pink, and very itchy. sometimes it fades a little but then it comes back again. eczema?
i don't have it anywhere else.

very interested in the responses - ds has this exact same thing too. was thinking eczema myself

yep, have the same. Itches as well. Especially if stressed.
I do get excema, but not that bad at the moment. Normally flares up when the weather goes from wet to cold or vice versa.
This week tried cansten cream on it and it's nearly gone...well itching stopped.

I thought I might be dribbling in night causing it as mouth so dry in mornings!!! Dear god...I'm only 37...things to come eh??!!! LOL!

tee hee easter! sure nothing to do with dribbling! weirdly, though, i also have mega dry mouth in the morning at the moment. in fact it is dry mouth + quite a sore throat, during the night, and when i wake up, but is usually fine after a cup of tea. might try the canasten cream. is that the same one that's used for thrush?

yes....very strange using it round mouth. Also using on DD bottom...thought it was excema like DS gets but I think its sort of fungal rash...well its clearing it so who cares.
