a new pillow and a week of cleaning eye lids and area around them. cover with wet warm tea bags for 10 min or tea oil. cleared mine up. also use baby shampoo. shampoos can irritate & cause your eyes to be puffy red & cause a lot of flaking especially around the eyes & on the face.
dry skin like a scab under my eye. i can peel it off and it will come back within a day. sometimes flaky. . for almost 2 years now i have had this constant dry flaking/peeling skin on my eyelid on one eye and under my eye on the other. it hardens like a scab but is just a thick layer of skin that is rough when it is un-cracked. when it starts cracking i can peel this layer off and it appears a little red under that skin peel. sometimes it is a little itchy or has a burning sensation. i went to a dermatologist to have them look at it they tested it and said it was benign and to put moisturizer on it.
