Dry pealing skin on outter nose. Wher nose meets face. Jan 16, 2001 The skin on the outside of my nose is very oily yet dry. When water touches the area the skin turn very white and mushee. And when it dry's it starts to come off. How can I stop this from happeing because it is deforming my nose. Thank you, |

Response from Dr. Feinberg
 It sounds like you may have seborrheic dermatitis. This responds very quickly to prescription-strength topical steroid ointments. See your doctor for a definitive diagnosis (I can't really 'look' at things over the Internet) and a prescription. |
