How to cure painful dry patches around both eyes?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am having dry patches around both eyes. Although I have had dark circles for a long time, this has never happened. I am using mild face cream to keep the area moist, but it is not sufficient. It is also slightly painful.

Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It seems like an allergy reaction. I advise you to use a mixture of one portion of baby shampoo diluted in five portions of warm water, and clean your face and the affected area. Rinse with warm water, then with cold water immediately. At the end apply Tobramycin cream or Fucidin cream (Fusidic acid) locally. Avoid eye contact. Try this twice daily. During day time you can apply vitamin E and zinc oxide cream. You can also apply fresh Aloe vera locally during the day. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
