FGS dry, sore itchy skin on face and neck, help

[walkinthewoods]

I usually have the pleasure of greasy/combo skin .
In the last week/10 days I have noticed dry patches by my mouth/side of face and a couple of red scab like things that fade pretty quickly (might be due tot he scratching. The itching is getting really bad now and is bad on my neck, which is getting red and bumpy due to scratching.

I have been using a new face cream but have been using this for at least 6 weeks, can I be growing sensitive to it? Nothing else is different (apart from my business going belly up...stress?)

Might be the new cream. 8 hour cream is very good for skin irritations.

Does your skin look normal until you scratch it? Then flare up and go red and blotchy? It sounds very much like my skin that has only been like it since having DD. I now use Waitrose baby bottom butter on my face - it is fantastic for the dry patches, maybe not use it on your whole face if it is normally oily though.

Can't say I've noticed anything about my skin apart from the dryness but hadn't really been looking that closely and today I haven't stopped scratching to see what the skin is like! It's red raw.

I have cleansed with cotton wool and aqueous cream and I'll see how I go but defo not putting on face cream.
