What To Do If The Inside Corners Of The Eyelids Are Puffy And Itchy?

Hello The inside corners of my eyelids are a little puffy, scaley and a little itchy. Almost looks like eczema but just on the inside corners of my eyelids. I m a little dry on other areas, like my hands but no eczema elsewhere. What do you suggest I need to do to clear this up? and do I need to go to either the eye doctor or dermatologist?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having problem of puffy and itchy corners of the eyelids.
This indicates angular conjunctivitis or blepharitis.
The treatment is by use of antiallergic eye drops and use of lid scrubs.
You need consult eye doctor for examination and treatment.

Thank you
