The skin in between my eyes and eyebrows are flaking, dry and itchy. Which eyedrop and medicine to buy?
I’m a 23 years old lady. Three weeks ago the skin above my eyelids became very dry, red and itchy. I was given zyrtec and calazin ointment. It got better for a few days and now its back to being super itchy and dry plus it has made my eyes super dry as well. I was thinking of buying an eyedrop but unsure of which eyedrop to buy. And I ran out of zyrtec, do you think I should buy more of it? Also, I’ve stopped using calazin because I noticed it is making the other parts of my skin very dry as well.
