Anything to help cracked, red, peeling skin around nose?

I'm seeing a doctor on Thursday, but in the meantime I'm trying to find something to ease the pain. This has been an off and on cycle for over a month now. Both sides of my nose will start peeling and flaking skin in ridiculous amounts. Then, after that goes, the areas become very red, dry, cracked. Everytime I smile or pull my upper lip down, I can feel the area around my nose stretch and sting. It hurts worse after showers or after putting lotion on (fragrance free). I can't even wear make-up to cover it up now because it makes it worse.





Today after I got out of the shower I noticed that a small spot on it was bleeding but when I tried to wipe it nothing came off, so it's bleeding under the skin? Very tiny amount though.





Does anyone know anything I can put on it to ease the pain and dryness until the doctor? I've tried moisturizers, plain soap, stopped wearing perfume and make-up, all to no avail. :(

Neosporin. Triple antibiotic. Keep it on there. Sleep with it on.

clean well and put neosporin with lidocaine,on troubled area.
Reply:This is probably do to the cold of winter. During the winter the skin is more sensity and vulnerable. And needs more pampering and moisturizer. Try a skin balm or ointment and make sure your warm specially your face.





Although it might be something else.
