Flaky skin on cheeks, that won't go away!

[XShear]

Hey guys. I have pretty okay skin, however I have these flaky, not really dry patches the sides of my cheeks. No matter what I do (exfoliate, moisturizer, etc) the buggers just won't go away. I've been the the dermo, and she said that it's just dry skin. But, really no matter what I do, nothing seems to help.

So, I'm asking you ladies ... any ideas on what it is or how I can rid myself of the unsightly flakes?

Any help, I would love!

Maybe using a thick cream on those areas, or...gasp...a little bit of Vaseline. I know I use it on my feet when they get extremely dry & it works wonders

I've had this problem too... Check out the thread in this forum about dry skin, I posted what I do whenever it flares up.
