Try olive oil, Dr.'s suggest its use on babies skin because it is gentle and it works...gentle enough to use around your eyes...without burning.

Dont use lotions - they contain chemicals that can make it worse. if you are in the states, you can get Muro128 ophthalmic ointment over the counter for that condition...

Is this from your skin getting ripped off from an eyebrow waxing? If it is, then use neosporin. It doesn't burn and heals up the scab completely in about 3-4 days. If this is from a current event, then you should let it heal or see a doctor if it doesn't in about 2 weeks. If your dry patch is just something you've had for a while then I'm sorry, but I havnt heard of anything like that.

How about piercing a vit. e capsule and squeezing a bit of the oil on the area?

I have had good luck with the jell from aloevera leaves. Just squeeze enough to put on your finger and rub it into the dry area. Do that several times a day.

It could also be psoriasis, in which case a steroid and many of the other things suggested here can or will (topical steroids) make it worse. I suggest you see a doctor if it is continuing and especially in that very sensitive and close to the eye area. If it is psoriasis (and we have no clue, but it could be) you should know this: In diagnosing facial psoriasis, your doctor will examine your lesions and take a personal and family history. **Facial psoriasis most often affects the eyebrows, the skin between the nose and upper lip, the upper forehead and the hairline.** A biopsy may be needed to distinguish psoriasis from other skin diseases. Facial psoriasis may respond **initially** to non-irritating moisturizers and petroleum jelly. *Occasional use of mild topical steroids, also called corticosteroids, may be effective.* Other treatments include Dovonex (a vitamin D3 derivative, also known by its generic name calcipotriene), Tazorac (a topical vitamin A derivative, also known by its generic name tazarotene), keratolytic products (scale removers) and ultraviolet light. Dovonex and Tazorac can be irritating, so you should work with your doctor to find a way to address this concern. In December 2000, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a drug called Protopic (also known by its generic name tacrolimus) for eczema. In December 2001, Elidel (also known by its generic name pimecrolimus) was also approved by the FDA for the treatment of eczema. Many dermatologists have also found that both drugs work well for treating psoriasis on the face or other sensitive areas. ***Medication used to treat facial psoriasis should be applied carefully and sparingly; creams and ointments can irritate the eyes, and large amounts offer no additional benefits. Because facial skin is delicate, prolonged use of steroids may cause it to become thin, shiny and/or prone to enlarged capillaries (spider veins).*** Treatment with steroids may be safe if a careful treatment schedule is followed.

Actually there is something called "Blepharitis" which is an inflammation of the eyelid, causing some swelling and redness. There are drops called "Blephamide" which work great, and really heal it quickly, but it is a prescription.

Is this something new, or something you've had before or for some time? Can you atttribute it to any new face cleanser or astringent you've just started using? Perhaps you're running a cotton ball/pad over your eyebrow, down into the eye area, where you shouldn't be, and it's dried out that area of skin . . . Of course, if this is the case, just stop doing it and it should clear back up without you having to do anything special. If it's not something like that, and it's been there for more than 2 weeks, then it's time you went to the doctor to get it checked out. Since it's your eyelid, you'd be wise to not start trying any home remedies or over-the-counter medicines, risking it swelling or becoming inflammed or infected and a more serious issue.

Vasalene

Try lavender oil. It works great and smells good too!
