Suggest Treatment For Itchy And Rough Skin On The Eyebrows And Lids
Good evening, I have a large brown skin marking over my right eye brow and lid. It started just the size of my little finger tip, and now has grown larger than a 10 pence piece. It has become itchy and slighty rough/ thick skin to touch. Many Thanks Shirley Fisher

Hello,
Based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing some form of skin condition affecting your eyebrows and eyelids. There are several possible causes for these symptoms, including eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, or contact dermatitis. It would be best to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
In the meantime, here are some general tips that may help alleviate your symptoms:
- Avoid scratching or rubbing the affected area, as this can worsen the symptoms.
- Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to wash your face and eye area.
- Apply a moisturizer specifically designed for sensitive skin to the affected area.
- Avoid using makeup or other products that could further irritate the area.
- If you suspect that a particular product is causing the reaction, stop using it and consult with a dermatologist.
Topical corticosteroids or other prescription medications may be recommended by your dermatologist to reduce inflammation and relieve itching.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
