Suggest Treatment For Flaky Scab Developed Outside Eye Corner
I have had a scab develop in the outside corner of my left eye. It's flaky and underneath the flakes it's very red and sensitive that burns when touched. I have a touch of it on my other eye but on the eyelid and its mild. This just appeared last week? Never had anything like this

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having scabs at the outer corner of the eyes. This can be because of angular conjunctivitis affecting the lid margins or because of blepharitis.
The treatment is by using antibiotic eye ointment and warm compression of the affected lid margins.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
