There is a layer of skin protruding from the inner corner of my right eye. Can anyone assist / determine and resolve? (Photo)

CJ_ohnsonDec 20, 2017
The protruding layer of skin in the inner corner of my right eye does not hurt, but my eye does tear a lot and there seems to be eczema on the upper and lower lids of my eye. What should I do to resolve this problem? I did go to an eye doctor and was told that it is conjunctivitis (cannot recall exact name) and that I should purchase Zaditor and eyelid wipes, which I did, and that it should resolve the issue. Would really appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

It is not possible to fully evaluate from this picture and in person examination would be necessary. It looks like you have uneven eyebrows, and often correction of brow asymmetry can make the eyes look more symmetric.  If the eye position is asymmetric due to asymmetry in your bony orbit, that ...
