I have a patch of dry white skin underneath my left eye, I have had it for two years now.?

Question

Although it does not cause any discomfort sometimes it becomes read and inflamed. Should I visit a doctor.

Answer 1

Vitiligo is a loss of skin melanocytes that causes areas of skin depigmentation of varying sizes. Cause is unknown, but the condition may be autoimmune, as up to 1⁄3 of patients have evidence of other autoimmune disease. Diagnosis is often obvious on examination. Treatment often involves topical corticosteroids, psoralens plus ultraviolet A, or for severe widespread pigment loss, depigmentation (“bleaching”) of residual patches of normal skin with hydroquinone.
Consult a dermatologist.

Answer 3

Ignore the fact that you have had this condition for so long.

GO TO THE DOCTOR. TODAY

or if you don't like going to the Doctor,
does your Doctor's Practice have a nurse that you could see ?

or if that is not possible try a Chemist, they know a great deal and could advise you better than anyone on here, partly because we can't see the condition.

Do not delay, it might be nothing.... and could be cleared up quickly with a prescription cream..... BUT it might be serious.
NO ONE should leave ANY medical problem undiagnosed for long.

Answer 4

Try a ointment or cream that has a good amount of zinc in it. The zinc is very good for dry patch skin, it wets down the skin and if you just keep a dab on it won't dry out and could heal. Zinc is found in all kind of OTC medication creams ever diaper rash cream which would more also.

Answer 5

Dry skin always so irritating...I hate it so much...I suggest you try using Zenmed Derma Lotion from Zenmed or Autopalm from Skinstore.com.

Zenmed has no side effects and it's non-irritant to the skin. It's proven to works fast and it provides Maximum results! It's certainly a good lotion to prevent further outbreaks.

Another product that I think is effective is Atopalm. This dry skin mlm is one of the best seller at skinstore.com now. (Skinstore.com holds more than 10,000 skin care products) It's pretty effective, and worth the dollar paid out.
