Its lupus inflammation under facial skin. My autoimmune derm specialist says to think of it like a blister. When the blister heals, there is all this extra dry skin then a sore layer. Thats a good analogy. One day I decided, Im gonna do a salicylic acid peel to get rid of this flaky skin...bad idea. Although it feels rough and flaky, the skin is thin and I wound up with open sores. Treat with Rx triacinolone or OTC hydrocortisone, and dont irritate it
