Swollen, Itchy, Red Spot Around Eyebrow. Applied Hydrogen Peroxide. Is This Serious?
Hello, for the past couple weeks the skin under or around my eyebrow as been itchy and red. I applied some hydrogen peroxide to the area because I believe it infected. Almost immediately the redness turned white and dried up but now the area is also swollen. I don't know if this is a serious matter where I should seek medical attention or is there an over the counter remedy. Thanks for you time and help.
Hi, you are having periorbital dermatitis. You take steroid in tappering dose with antihistaminics. Apply mild steroid. Avoid soap. Avoid anxiety and stress. Do not expose the face to pollution, sun rays, pollens, dust.. etc.. Do not apply beauty cream, kajol, eye liner or powder, mascara.etc. Do not drop any eye drops.. I hope you will get benefit.....
