I have been suffering from severely dry skin on my face for about 6 weeks.  The outside corners of my eyes are red and my eyes themselves are itchy.  I also have very chapped lips and the area around my nose is red and itchy and raw.  My nostrils have cracks, too.  I have had this in the past but it has never lasted this long.  Is it possible I have an infection?  Also interesting is that I dont have any dry skin anywhere else...
