What Causes Red, Flaky And Irritated Skin Around Eyes?

So basically i have this red/flaky skin in the outer corners of my eyes, it stings a bit and is red... I think it might be because sometimes tears come out of my eyes when i sleep and make the outer corners of my eyes wet/irritated... I do not wear contacts. It has been like this for about a month and hasn t subsided at all. I ve used aquaphor on the corner of my eyes but it hasn t made it better or worse. Do you know what is causing this or what it is called or how it can be treated? Mainly because of aesthetics but the burn can be a little bit irritating sometimes.

Hello,

I believe it can be eczema or dermatitis. Cortico-steroid cream such as Hydrocortisone cream can be used.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
