Its gone red and a bit scaley / flaky, a bit raised, not sore or painful. No other symptons anywher else..

Is it cold air and cenrtal heating, or dermatitis or something else?

Tried google but I can only deduce from the answers on ther my eye is about to fall out....

my mum had something like this. If it is the same there is a name for it and a cream that works, it is some kind of infection. Go to the doctor. Sorry I can't remember the name.

I get it occasionally, I am very naughty I put a tiny dot of hydrocortisone cream on it.
Yes I know your meant to ask the dr first, buy it only takes one or two goes so the side effects really don't apply.
