Thanks. Took me awhile to discover your answer :( (I thot the site would alert me to a response). Also, I didn't remember I posted in the dermatology area; and first experience with the website, manuvering is still slow.
I do not infer anything more than a mild 'Asteatotic eczema' (relating to old age) .Application of coconut oil should be fine(not in to the eye but outer skin). Do consult your doc.
