What the heck is wrong with my forehead? It keeps peeling :(

[Phokus]

I've had this problem for the past couple of weeks: The upper right quadrant of my forehead just keeps peeling off skin. I dunno wtf is wrong, i put on moisturizer, but it still peels off and now its redish/pinkish.

Have you been out in the sun a lot?

you have skin cancer, go buy a life insurance policy and find a hot chick, tell her you'll leave her the money from your policy if she dates you til you die

 

[nativesunshine]

My face is doing that too. I'm just applying lotion and such until it stops. :frown:

You have leprosy, just wait until your forehead falls off.

Could be! My mom has that problem! Is it genetically inherited or is it some environmental thing?

I'm not sure how it's contracted, but if your mom has it I'd bet that's what you have as well.

Prolly is... is that patch of skin darker?

I have the same problem in the same place but also the skin was darker and rougher... so the dermatologist gave me some aclovate(sp?) a corto-steroid and some elidel to use for 5 days.

Its improved and I no longer peel plus the skin has lightened up.

Well no, it just keeps peeling and peeling so i've lost several layers of skin and now it's redish. I assume that's the blood behind the skin
