Dark, Dry And Itchy Skin Around Eyes, Red And Flaky Rash On Penis. Related? Suggestions
hi, i have recently last few weeks had problem with skin around my eyes the skin colour has darkened, the skin its very dry/itchy and flakey in the morning? I also had a red rash on penis/ and can be slightly flakey which i had seen my local GP about and was given cream for both issues but the cream given for my eyes didnt help! DO you have any suggestions at all? And can both problems be down to same thing?

Hello,
Welcome to Health care Magic
What was the diagnosis of the penile and eye rash and what was the cream given?
It is unlikely that both rash is the same. Dry itchy skin around eye could be a contact dermatitis. Skin around the eyes are very sensitive. Have you started using any new face washes or cosmetics? skin around eyes are also prone for air borne contact allergies. Air borne allergens like pollens, cement, dust etc can cause the rash.
It is better to consult a dermatologist as you don't seem to improve with the creams prescribed by GP.
Keep washing your face regularly and frequent application of moisturiser after wash will help.
Hope this helped
Take care
