Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Simba. Most eye problems in cats are due to some upper respiratory viruses, other organisms, and trauma to the eye resulting in corneal scratches, ulcers. Herpes virus, Calicivirus, Chlamydia, and Mycoplasma cause most of the common eye problems. I would have her evaluated by your veterinarian. Your vet can take a history, perform a physical exam, and recommend a diagnostic/treatment plan. Corneal eye stain is usually performed to make sure the cornea is not damaged. Once a diagnosis is made, the eye can be treated properly. The skin problem near the eye is due to the constant moisture draining from the eye. Once the eye problem is addressed, this should heal. Good luck
