How To Treat Skin Irritation Caused Around Eyes?

I put some night cream on, it slightly irritated my eyes, but now I am noticing a thick skin on the whites of my eyes. I thought it was the cream (since I put it on heavier around my eyes). When I went to wipe it off I realized it was attached! What is this?

Hi,

I understand your concern.

The thick skin on the whites of your eyes might be due to eyes irritation by the night cream you put on.
I advise to clean your face and eyes with water well. Rinse with chamomile tea even inside your eyes by using a cotton bud.
Do not put the night cream on until improvement.

If no improvement, then, should consult with ophtalmologist.
Hope it was of help!
