I have for 1month now had a really dry/red sore patch under my right eye, I have stopped using all items on my face except aqueous cream to wash & moisturise but it still continues, red & sore, I did 6 months ago have a similar patch under my other eye but again after months it eventually went, this is very time consuming to treat as I am putting Eucerin cream & the aqueous cream on 10 ish times a day to help treat the red dryness. Any idea what it may be? have put off doctors appointment as he will no doubt say yes it's irritated isn't it & that will be that, I am typing this in a vain hope really that someone can advise; its more irritated today & some mornings I can actually see dry skin flakes on it, help anyone....

Hi Smiley,

I am concerned that you may be putting cream on your eye so much that you are worsening the condition. 10 times a day for Eucerin sounds a bit much. There are so many things that can cause skin problems, and the skin around your eyes is very delicate, so it doesn't take much to irritate it.

I would encourage you to make that appointment with your doctor. If you don't feel as though your doctor is taking you seriously, you do have the right to a second opinion. You might ask for a referral with a dermatologist (skin care specialist), since this is a recurrent problem.

It will be much easier for someone who has examined you and seen firsthand what's going on to advise you.

Good luck,

Kathi
