Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. It is difficult to say what the problem could be without pictures but there could be 2 separate problems. There could be an eye infection or trauma to the eye and the skin may habe an infection or some other skin condition. Any time I am dealing with an eye, I usually recommend having a veterinarian examine this to ensure there is nothing serious going on, especially if you are unable to get a good look at the eye itself. I would recommend having your vet check this out just to be on the safe side. For the skin, I would recommend starting a shampoo such as Douxo PS calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
