Q I'm 16 and I have a prominent crease under one of my eyes. Under this eye I used to have bad dry skin and ive been using an ointment and the dry skin has been releived, however, this prominent crease stll remains. I have researched into it and I believe it is called an Atopic Pleat or a Dennie-Morgan fold. Is there a cure for this? or anyway to reduce the appearance of it? Also what could be the cause for it? Thanks.
A

It sounds like the dryness you suffered from was likely due to eczema. Visible symptoms of eczema can include the infraorbital fold, atopic pleat, dennie-morgan fold associated with the eyes. Although there is not a cure for this symptom it can be reduced by using treatment products for eczema. I recommend treating the area with California Baby Calendula Cream. Please contact me with further questions. Meagan, Esthetician
