this may sound crazy, but I am sort of worried.

If you are worried about it, the keyword should be SEE A DOCTOR.


You don't get dry skin on your face from flossing!


It could be some form of herpes (which isn't always an STD!), but only a doctor can determine that by SEEING IT.

A dry patch of skin can be caused by anything.

Like the others, I don't think a patch of dry skin would be caused by flossing. There are, however, many skin conditions that can begin with a patch of dryness, including pre-cancerous cells. If you want to search the net, perhaps just try "dry skin" as a search value.

I would keep an eye on it. If it doesn't go away, or it gets worse, definitely have it checked out by a doctor.

I should see a dermatologist I assume, thanks again.

Keep us posted on how things go with the doctor. I think it's always better to err on the side of caution.
