Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dry and flaky skin around the eyes which is mainly allergic contact dermatitis. It could be due to infection of skin and hair follicles. I would suggest you to visit dermatologist once as clinical assessment of the bumps is necessary for diagnosis. Till then You can use topical mild steroid cream like hydrocortisone creams. You can take antihistamine orally. Take plenty of water to drink. Wipe the area under eyes with wet tissues as well. Take diet rich in multivitamins. You can try with topical eye antibiotics as well and avoid all type of cosmetics around eye.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
