What Could Cause Itchy And Flaky Eyelids And Bridge Of The Nose?

I have had a problem my my eyes and the bridge of my nose for well over a year now. My eyelids are flaky and itchy most of the day and the bits of my nose where my glasses sit are dry and itchy too. I've used all sorts of creams and even changed my glasses but it won't stop.. Please help

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having itching and flaky eyelids. These symptoms indicate allergic blepharitis. This is not related to the use of spectacles.
The treatment of the condition is by use of lid scrubs, antibiotic eye ointment. Severe cases may require steroid eye ointments.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
