Hi Doctor. My eyelids are very dry and sometimes itchy. The main patch is from the middle of the eyelid to the inside corner on my right eye. Also, now I have it on the top of my right ear and its worse here; a lot more dry and itchy, and now flacky. Could it be ringworm? Thanks!
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Ring worm usually infects the area where sweating is more.Eyelids usually do not have much sweating. So ringworm is having very low possibility in that case. Ringworm is common in inguinal area and other arras of sweating. So in my advice you should show this to your dermatologist. Skin condition can't be diagnosed with description only. If we do not have visuals we can't diagnose it perfectly. Keep good moisture on the lesion area. Avoid sweating. Wash the face frequently. Avoid injury to the affected site otherwise it can. Cause infection. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
