...uninflamed, uncracked skin at my left eyebrow? There used to be a skin tag in the itchy spot. The itch started about a month ago around the time the skin tag came off. I thought that's what it had to do with, but the skin tag is gone and the dry, itchy spot has come back twice. I have been able to soothe the itch with non-medicated loation. I normally have oily skin rather than dry skin. I've read the symptoms for most skin rashes like eczema and psoriasis and I don't seem to have those problems.

It would be best to consult a dermatologist.

you might have what is called "eye dandruff". unfortuntaley i had a bad reaction to a high end make up line which caused me to have it. you can always sooth the itch, but it keeps coming back, right? see a dermatologist who can best diagnose you; if it is eye dandruff, there are two medications which can clear it up or keep the symptoms under control. having eye dandruff is not due to poor hygeine so cleaning the effected area is not enough. the only bad thing about "eye dandruff" - there are some cases that are chronic.
