About a year and a half ago I suffered a pretty severe sinus infection that followed a couple winters of sinus issues and mold exposure about four years ago. I went on antibiotics which took care of the acute infection. However during this time I developed very dark circles around my eyes and what looks to me to be prematurely aged skin in the periorbital area (under and around my eyelids) along with mild eczema above my eyes. After the antibiotics the discolouration got a bit better but never returned to my normal skin tone. I think I damaged the skin barrier through excessive rubbing -during that winter my eyes were constantly itchy and watery- then more through a short course of topical cortisone.
Since then I've had some success reducing the discolouration (in case anyone is interested, I found pregnenolone, vits A and K applied to the area to be especially helpful) and eczema somewhat. However the skin still feels thin, looks atypical under examination, and is still somewhat discolored, in addition to deep lines and wrinkles, overall still much less healthy looking than previous to that sinus infection. There are also couple small skin tags that have developed on and below my eyelid.
Sorry for the lengthy preamble !This along with chronic low level sinus issues are my stickiest problems and I'd love if anyone can speculate on what's happening here. Thanks!
