Dandruff around eye lashes

2019-07-15 08:42:39
My wife is experiencing dandruff formation at the base of her eyelashes. She had this issue around 15 yrs ago and got treated for it. It seems to have resurfaced. Kindly advise what this condition is about and which doctor do I need to approach to get it cured. Whether I need to visit an Eye specialist or a Skin specialist? Thank you.
