Skins going crazy, please help :(

I feel like it gets worse and worse by the day but it's getting unmanageable for sure. I'm not sure what this is or what to do with it?? It feels dry, and itchy and pretty painful because it feels almost like it's cracking because it's so tight. It's also slightly raised and extremely red :;

The red doesn't pick up as well on the pictures as it does in real life :(

It looks a bit like eczema to me which is usually itchy red and dry. Try your best not to scratch it as it will take longer to heal and may form scabs I would suggest putting e45 cream on it twice a day it's cheap and works wonders on eczema and dry skin!

Where would I be able to get that cream? Is it over the counter? :)

Also, I will go to a doctor as soon as possible but as of now I go to school 8-11 and work right after till eight every day 😁

You can but it over the counter it will be on many shelves in shops like super drug and boots I'd say it's around £2 depending on what size you buy I bought mine from boots I'm sure you could also order it only it works wanders when I get eczema and dry skin in the winter months! And yes try get to the doctors especially if it gets worse but I'd Defoe give the cream a try!

I have eczema and if this is your first symptom of this I doubt that's it because you wouldn't know wayy sooner if it was as well as eczema can be slightly more severe. I could be wrong though.. If I were you I would go pick up some hydrocortisone cream from the drug store. Sometimes when mine flares I can use that instead of a prescription cream. Just see if it helps

Alright thanks so much ladies I'll look into the products. And I had a similar problem like this on my elbow this summer which I posted here except 100 times more severe, this is quite bad though it doesn't translate as well in the pictures
