Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been experiencing red raccoon looking areas around both eyes for a few days now. The area is flaky, very dry feeling, itchy. My entire right eyeball became red, started treating with Tobramycin, which I had from previous eye infections. Home remedies for the current skin problem? Email: YYYY@YYYY Thank you!
Most of the time, itchy eyes are caused by some type of allergy. An irritating substance (called an allergen) — such as pollen, dust and animal dander — causes the release of compounds called histamines in the tissues around the eyes, which results in itching, redness and swelling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ajeet Singh,
General & Family Physician
