I would recommend taking Blacky to a vet. Eyes tend to heal quickly or get bad quickly. Her eyelids should be checked. Dogs can have things such as entropion which causes the eyelids to roll in & rub on the cornea (clear part of eye). They can rub an ulcer. Other conditions such as conjunctivitis can cause discharge. A vet will be able to determine what is the problem and proper treatment. I am not sure what you are asking about the skin... however the vet can check at the same time as the eye. Thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
