Lately I have been getting a redness on my face mainly on my forehead and nose which itches like hell and is generally flakey in which makes me unconfident around people, any tips on how to get rid of this easily without using creams and stuff as ive found out they make it worser, ive tried quite a few different things but it never works.

Sounds like a case of psoriasis. Which definatly needs medical attention to make it better. Probably get some sort of topical cream.

So yeah. You're better off asking a doctor this question. Not a final fantasy message board.

No its definitely not psoriasis, its more like exma(dont know how to spell it properly sorry) but it's not exma, im not sure. I'll make an appointment with the 'ol docter, thanks anyway.

Most likely your skin is dry, put some Moisturizer on there.

will the Moisturiser make the redness die away too? also I havent got a clue about skin cremes and stuff.

Yep they make the redness go away.

Well you have to do it at least twice a day.

Go to a doctor. He/she will probably prescribe some chortosone (sp) cream if it's exzema. You really can't get stuff over the counter that would help this...I don't think.

Then is probably is, my Cousin had eczema and it looked pretty bad...and similier on what you are having.
