What Causes Redness And Itching Above The Left Eyebrow?
I have had redness and itchiness in my left eyebrow for years. Now I have been losing my eyebrow hair and my left eye below has gotten a very itchy puffy redness that seems to get better one day and then is inflamed the next. Now I have it on both eyelids and they are more burning than itchy. My doctor thinks it could be related to low thyroid but I have low normal test results and am reluctant to go on medication for thyroid the rest of my life.

Hello,
* As there is only local part having itching with redness, it sounds more of skin sensitivity issue rather than systemic one.
* A detailed evaluation of the part to exclude recurrent fungal or viral infection is recommended with an expert dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
