Could be a yeastie, I've found they make skin split rather easily unfortunately. But even if it's not a yeastie, get coconut oil all over. Soothing and antibacterial. I don't actually own any skin care products (not counting makeup) except coconut oil. Doesn't matter what's wrong with my skin, coconut oil will fix it.
I've tried a few types/grades and you definitely want the food grade one. Should be really white and pearly looking, I've had a dodgy batch of a slightly yellowish one, smelled like the coconuts had been burnt and had a slightly gritty texture when solid.
