   Hey Boston Girl!! (Acne board)

24th March 2006
Hey boston girl! I just wanted to check in with you and see how things were going. I live in Canada and the winter down is here is dry and cold, I think this may be the reason that I am getting some red irritated patches on my forehead (dry skin). The derm gave me some hydrocortisone cream to use if it doesn't go away. I just wanted to know if you ever experienced anything like this. I am thinking that it may also be caused by the neutrogena dry touch sunblock that i used the day before yesterday, because before that it was fine. Any ideas?

Ttyl!

Hey curiousP :)
Our winter here wasn't too bad but I still have issues with dry skin on my forehead too. I actually don't even wash my forehead with anything, but I try to moisturize as much as I can and sometimes the dryness can get pretty bad. I always had issues with neutrogena sunblock myself. It used to make my cheeks and skin pretty flaky (and this was even before I was on accutane). I still have some hydrocortisone cream that I got o-t-c but I haven't used it in a long time. Have you tried stopping the sunblock and seeing what happens? Keep me updated and hope everything is well! :)
