Itchy Rash Under The Eye, Skin Has Started Peeling. Cure?

I have a rash under the left eye where the skin starts peeling and it is itchy. A local doctor prescribed Hydrocortisone but I stopped using it because it didn t work well. Then I started using selsun for the past couple of days and the peeling is even more. Please suggest a cure. It is itchy sometimes and been this way for about a month.

Hi there Bharath.

Please stop using Selsun on the face immediately!

I cant say why the rash/peeling started but it certainly will get worse with application of selsun on your face.

As first aid measure, take a fexofenadine 180mg tablet orally once/day & wash face with plain water or a mild cleansing agent like Cetaphil

Please dont decide for yourself if things work well or not..go visit your friendly neighbourhood dermatologist & all will be well soon!

If it is itchy for a month, then do visit the dermatologist & stop taking short-cuts!!

Cheers & Good lUck & wish you a clear countenance soon!
