I found that my dandruff problem slowly spread to my face, now the skin on my face was peel off just like dandruff flake, what can i do to cure this weird problem?

are you sure its dandruff? go and see a GP or a skin specialist.

Pretty sure dandruff doesn't spread to face, only scalps.
Maybe its due to the dandruff, another skin condition occured?

... Go see a doctor la ...

the dandruff first spread to my hairline near to my ear, then slowly spread to face and skin around the nose. Eyebrow also got, it is like dandruff grow on eyebrow.

ur skin too dry jor

Sounds like mild Psoriasis. Google it.

yes agreed...my differential diagnosis will be psoriasis or eczema.

use some moisturiser

i have eczema too ...eyebrow and face area will have it some times....

My cheek will become "flaky" when its dry. maybe thats what TS is experience . I have to wash my face often,especially in air con room for a long time.

a little bit of sunlight might help you =)

i suspect is scalp form of psoriasis.

when i apply some water to my face, the flake will disappeared, but later after the water dried the white flake will appear again. Continue apply moisturizer and wash face often the problem will go away?

Psoriasis! how to cure it? i really dont want to become ugly forever like now.

yaya, mine also eyebrow and face, nose also got, back of my ear also got. How to cure eczema then?

why sunlight can help? i willing to try every methods. i dont want a ugly face.

first of all just go see a GP or skin specialist to confirm it.

same as mine...but i already endure it for more then 15yrs...everytime female friend talk to me they will keep a distance...they told me i look like i have virus outbreak ...lol...moisturizer wont help much coz sometimes it will dry up also...btw dont wash face too often coz it will make your skin dry...

Try homemade soap and apply castor oil. Check out my thread for free recipes.

You are describing the typical presentation and distribution of seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff).



The flakes are different from psoriasis - it is more yellowish and oily. Psoriasis scales are silvery white on a thick red base.



As u can see, seborrheic dermatitis lesions on the scalp stays on the scalp. It does not exceed the hairline whereas psoriasis does. (picture below)

Psoriasis lesions also typically appears on the elbows and knees. They also get pitting in the nails.



Seborrheic dermatitis has elements of eczema + yeast infection. So, steroid cream and anti-fungal shampoo should help deal with it.
