I've lately for a couple of weeks I'd say about 2-3 by now been noticing that the right side of my nose where my cheek is also tiny pieces of skin are peeling. At first I thought I was just breaking out with acne so I treated it with salicylic acid (neutrogena) for about a week. (applied once a day)

It seem to have helped out and cleared the minor redness in that area of the skin, but it still occurs on and off. I would think that the peeling would have increased over time, or the redness but it has remained the same and I'm not too sure what this means.

In my observation it seems like maybe I'm missing a layer of skin to have this redness come up? I haven't had a sunburn in a while, sorry to be so vague but I was wondering to hear what the community thinks on this case. As for symptoms none really I can think of...it's not itchy, just red...looks irritated at times, but not really that noticeable either unless up close.

I plan on visiting a doctor soon sometime next week to see what they can pick up from this. I'll try to get pictures up tomorrow if that portion of the skin starts to peel again, at the moment it is clear now. But I'm pretty sure it'll continue it's alternating cycle.
