What Causes Dryness And White Head Like Pimples Below Eye?
about two wks ago the skin around my eyes and along my lash line became very itchy, then painfully raw like chapped from rubbing my eyes. I havent done anything different like changed/shared makeup, or cleanser. now the ichy has subsided but under each eye theres a little white bump like a white head pimple but not as it cant be squeezed its more like skin kind of like how a skin tag looks but not. Like a sty but not on the eye, on the skin just below. what is this and Im sure all of that sounds crazy.

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dryness and white head like pimples below eye which is because of increased sensitivity of getting pigmented, clogged pores of sebacious glands, hormonal changes and due to stress. Due to increased sun exposure and increased sensitivity body is absorbing UV rays of sun and getting pigmented. I would suggest you to apply cream rich in Azelaic acid or Kojic acid. Use clindamycin gel as well. Apply on face twice daily. It will lighten skin. You can go for home remedy as well. Apply mashed potatoes on these pigments. Apply aloe vera gel it will resolve. apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil to lighten the pigments. You should get hormonal levels monitored to find exact cause and treatment for your condition. Use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 30. You can visit dermatologist once and can go for chemical peeling or micro abrasion if your symptoms not resolving.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
