Why is the skin in the corner of my eye turning white and feeling irritated?

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing irritation and whitening of the skin in the corner of your eye. This could be due to several reasons, including skin irritation from topical products, allergic reactions, or other dermatological conditions.
One possible cause is the use of certain skin creams that contain ingredients like hydroquinone, corticosteroids, or retinoids. These can sometimes cause side effects such as skin irritation, redness, burning, or whitening, especially if they accidentally come into contact with sensitive areas like the eyes. If you have been using a cream with these ingredients near your eye, it might explain your symptoms.
Here are some important points to consider:
Given your symptoms, I recommend consulting a dermatologist (skin specialist) who can examine the affected area, identify the cause, and suggest appropriate treatment to relieve irritation and prevent further skin changes.
If you experience severe pain, swelling, vision problems, or signs of infection, please seek urgent medical care immediately.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
