i am a 23years old girl.
i have been infected with this itching problem in the labionasal area for about 2-3 years. with the help of my dr i could control it using sulfur lotions.
recently i noticed a mild redness on my skin under one of the eyes.
i have heard that it may also affect the eyelids but this is near my cheek.
i am so worried and i just want to know what to do to prevent its development if this is also seborrhea
