I have had problems with flaking of my eyebrows now
for about three or four years, but nothing helps. After
flaking there remains a scalb. When it peels off there is
a burning. One doctor gave me desoximetasone cr o.25
which helped as long as I used it, but never cleared it up.
My present doctor gave me some samples of Amlactin 12%
moisturizing lotion which only helps temporarily. I can't
seem to find anyone that can identify this problem. Does
anyone have an answer? The flakiness does not itch, but
just looks bad. There is some of this condition between my
eyes above my nose as well.
Thank you for your prompt and sane reply. Why didn't I
think of that? I thought for awhile I would have to make
an appointment with an eyebrow specialist...
I have this problem too. I try to remember to use the dandruff shampoo on my eyebrows in the shower, but usually forget. I bet it would work if I kept up with it, although it might be too rough and make some hairs fall out.
What I've been doing is applying cold cream to my eyebrows, letting it sit for a few minutes, then wiping it offwith a tissue. It keeps the flakes away for at least a day.
I was told taking omega-3 will clear up dry skin as well. Good luck.
I believe that I'm already seeing some improvement, but I
will try to keep up the treatment for at least a couple of
weeks. When my dandruff kicks up, it usually takes a week
or two to really see some difference.
