Redness and peeling of the skin at the corners of the eyes

The skin around the eyes is more delicate than the skin in other areas, and its absorption function is not particularly good, so women should be careful to avoid the area around the eyes when applying skin care products and use special products for care around the eyes. However, some people find that the skin around their eyes becomes red and peels, and this symptom is accompanied by pain. So what is going on when the skin at the corners of a person's eyes becomes red and peels?

1. Allergies The skin around the eyes is relatively delicate and fragile compared to other parts of the body, and is a susceptible area for allergies, especially in spring when pollen is diffused in the air. People with allergic constitution or decreased immunity are prone to allergies on the skin around the eyes, resulting in redness, swelling and itching around the eyes, and peeling in severe cases.

2. Exposure to sunlight has a strong irritation to the skin, and the skin on the face is not protected. The skin on the nose, eyes, forehead, etc. is relatively delicate and fragile, and is easily burned by the sun. The skin around the eyes becomes red, swollen, and peels. If it is infected by fungi, itching symptoms will appear.

3. Some patients with neurodermatitis experience simple itching, redness, and peeling of the eyelids. This may not be a general allergic reaction, but more likely to be neurodermatitis, which is one of the more common skin diseases clinically.

4. Psoriasis Psoriasis is a common infectious disease among human skin diseases. This type of disease can be caused by fungal, bacterial and viral infections. It feeds on the protein in the skin, proliferates rapidly, and causes skin redness, itching and peeling.

5. Trauma: The skin is the first line of defense of the human body and is also the most vulnerable line of defense. The skin around the eyes is very fragile and easily scratched. The skin has self-healing capabilities, but trauma may cause infection, resulting in local itching, redness and swelling. Scarring and peeling may also occur during the recovery process.
