I have an extra fold in my right eyelid that becomes red and irritated, with an obvious red crease and itchiness. What can I do?

Elaine MillerApr 8, 2016
i asked dermatologist about this problem and she said that I have an extra skin fold and that I should keep it dry . i have tried that., she also told me I could use a cream she prescribed for eczema skin issues. i thought perhaps Monistat cream may help since I reasoned it may be like a yeast infection. Any other suggestions? I am unable to wear eye shadow and when it flares up which is pretty always there is a crease of red irritated itchy skin

Generally speaking, most of us have the same size eyes, with slight variations. Things around the eyes like eyebrows, upper eyelid, lower eyelid, sagging skin make eyes look smaller. When you fix it, the eyes will open up and look larger. Most of the times, we work around the eyes to make the...
