Well, go see a dermatoligist. It could be something serious
Maybe the cream is just hardening and coming off? Ask the doctor who gave it to you and maybe moisturize the area that’s peeling.
I think it could be because your skin is dry. Try applying some moisturizing cream.

ya i use the benzoyl peroxide thingy that the doctorsgave me to and i get dry around my nose and peel sometimes but i think thats because i wash my face too much and use other stuff so it could be acne or the wash.
Hmm..sometimes when my daughter puts on her cream in the mornings and then takes a shower, it starts to peel her skin away after exposure to water. If your cream is a prescribed medication I would suggest looking at the side effects. You could have a “blind sunburn” where you get really burnt one day and the next morning you wake up sunburned.
I’d slow down on the treatment (meds) being used and perhaps use a topical ointment such as Clearasil added directly to the area where your breaking out.
It sounds as if the medication your using is overly drying out the top 1-2 layers of your skin.
Also be sure to see a dermatologist and not a family practitioner.
Benzoyl Peroxide? It’s very drying and can cause your skin to peel. How often are you applying the cream? How much are you using? Is the face wash you use drying too?
Could be the medicine is just too strong.
i wouldn’t worry about it maybe it is just dead skin or maybe it is bcuz of your acne. either way, don’t let it get you down. you shouldn’t care about it too much b yourself and use a face peel or exfoliater!!!
it is possible that the skin treatmenst might be reacting with each other hurting your skin, stop using just one of the things u use for a few days, and switch around till u get results.
sounds like you have had a reaction to the foundation or cream?
i would wash my face with a medical soap or soap free wash and talk to the chemist to return the skins pH levels to normal.
see your doctor or a beautician
good luck
i had the same problem, and i was using harsh chemical face wash, and I exfoliated too much. STOP THE SPOT TREATMENT! its harsh, and will damage you skin!
Now a days i wash with burts bees peach and willowbark scrub, and after washing it off it leaves a soft moist barrier (grapeseed oil) I also use a mosturizer once in a while.
Im 13 and i have acne and peeling too, but after doing this ( i still have acne *sigh*) but my skin and pimples are not peeling, and my skin is soft and healthy!
i hope this helps!
