Eyelid Rash, won't go away

Eyelid Rash, won't go away

I have an eyelid rash that won't go away; I've been told that it looks like a smudge of eyeshadow.

It used to be flakey, but I was givcen cream for it and it went away. I recently went to an eyelid specialist who told me it was a recovering chalazion, but there is still quite a bit of reddness that doesn't seem related to that. It is also on the skin right next to my tear duct.

It's been months now and I just want my eye/life back. What could this be and how do I make it REALLy go away?

Thats where my psoriasis began 26 years ago. Elbows, top of my head and over both eyelids. It's like poison ivy if scratched. It can spread and move like it's alive. If it flakes (It does not always) has small breaks in it and itches like hell, it could very well be psoriasis. How long have u had it would be a question. Check your fingernails. Slant them towards the light so u can see them almost flat. If their are tiny pits in them, chances are you have psoriasis. For skin Rashes, I take plenty of "real" (Not Synthetic) Vitamin C. Since i found out about the Vit C and used it (About a month now) the Psoriasis has began to fade.
