What Causes Dandruff On Eyelids And Dry Skin On Nose And Face?
Question: I have dry skin on my nose and face that peels on my nose. I also started getting dandruff on my eye lashes and eyebrows.
My hair on my head has dandruff which just started. This started a year ago with a eye infection from dandruff. Went to eye doctor she gave me medicine and told me I had dandruff on my eyelashes. My question is why after 62 years did this start. My blood work came back good except for very low vitamin D. Taking 2000 mg of D everyday.
