Scab under eye
Dear Doc
I need some advice.
A month ago i noticed a yellow/brownish discolouration under my eye, say where the soft tissue is. First I thought it was a bruise, then i thought it was a burn scar but it's been there for a month now almost 2 in fact and it feels kind of rough compared to the other soft skin.
I was wondering if it's some kind of fungal thing?? Or maybe a dermatitis? Its not going away and people keep asking me if I've smuged my makeup?
Regards and thanks

Dear Wings, It could be dermatitis. A fungus would spread and usually has a distinct edge. I would let a dermatologist look at it, seeing that it is so close to your eye.
