Hi,
As per your query you have a dry itchy patch on the eyebrows which is mainly sunburn in which skin damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays. It usually causes the skin to become red, sore and itchy. Need not to worry. I would suggest you apply cold compresses 2-3 times a day or wash your face with cold water, drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated, apply petroleum jelly on the affected area, take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take an antihistamine like benadryl. If the condition doesn't get better in 2-3 days then consult a dermatologist for proper examination and rule out causes like a skin infection or allergic reaction. The doctor may prescribe steroid ointment, antibiotics (clindamycin) or vitamin C supplement for quick recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
