The flaking that I got was usually visible and would proliferate and appear as flakes on the skin would. Since I started treatment with a fluticasone propionate cream, constant showering, and a anti-fungal cream, the redness and visible flaking has gone down substantially. The flakes have not returned in the same manner they used to, now they appear as small flakes even in the affected area that are only visible after I shower or swim. Within an hour they dry up and appear as part of my skin, not flakey, and appear slightly darker than my normal skin. If I try I can remove these flakes by tweezer however I have not done so to avoid further irratation. Do you think these flakes will remain, as they have for about a month and a half now, or will they fall off as part of normal skin proliferation? Should I try to scrub these off or let nature take its course? Answer Because the flakes have been positioned for so long I fee you should try to exfoliate this area with a gentle product like Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub or Sonya Dakar Triple Action Organic Scrub - Irritation. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions. Best skin care wishes.
