What Does Scaling Skin On Places Like Eyelids And Upper Lip Indicate?
Lately ive been getting extremely dry skin on the top of my eyelids, just above the crease and its quite scaly, but it seems to be spreading. I now have patches spreading across my upper lip (looks sort of like the start of coldsores but ive never suffered and have always avoided the virus), and I also now have patches developing on the outer side of the tip of both forefingers (the part id use to wipe excess makeup etc off of my eyelids), any ideas on what this is and how to stop it?

Hi,
It seems to be dermatitis. I would recommend you to avoid cosmetics and apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and regular application of a moisturizing cream on the entire face.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
