A member asked:

I have this irritated skin under my eyes.. it's been like this for a year it gets irritated at the slightest things! it's scaly how can i sooth it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eye skin irritation: Since this is near the eye, you need to see an eye care professional. Only prescription meds for use in the eye should be used, so if it gets in the eye, it will not damage your vision.
