Question
I have had dry skin on my eyebrows mostly in the winter for about 10 years, but now I have it all the time & it's almost like dandruff, but on my eyebrows. Recently I have gotten a dry, itchy, nickle sized patch of skin about 2 inches below my eye at the top portion of my beard line. In both cases, they are very itchy, dry, & the eyebrows are very flaky (just like dandruff). There is no red color at all in either location. If I do scratch at it, then it gets very hot feeling. If I put lotion on either spot, it get very hot feeling as well.
Do you have any ideas what it may be? Also, if it helps, I'm a 36 year old white male in North Texas.
Thank you in advance,
Michael
