4 Skin Around the Eyes Flakes
Bacterial blepharitis, in particular, can cause the appearance of flaky and scaly-looking eyes. This can be aesthetically unappealing and can also contribute to a feeling of itchiness and discomfort. What’s unfair about all this, is that when you then go to scratch your eyes, you’ll actually be likely to make the flaking worse.
This can result in something of a vicious cycle – where you itch because of the symptoms and this then causes them to become worse – making you itch again.
It’s important therefore to try and resist the urge to rub the eyes when you feel the need. Breathe and try to distract yourself with other things, which can help to distract your attention away and seemingly minimize the severity of the irritation.
