Dry Skin?

I've noticed lately that the skin around Luna's right eye tends to get red and dry looking from time to time. I don't often see her scratching it or acting like she's uncomfortable. But when it is red, you can visually see the difference between the eyes. Her skin around the left eye remains the nice soft pink while the skin around her right eye looks all dry and red.

I know that some people have dog with skin issues and I wanted to see if anyone thought that maybe she might have a skin problem. Like I said, she doesn't show any discomfort, but I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. My husband says I'm being overly concerned ... but I thought I'd ask the question anyways.

I will try to take a couple pictures over lunch, to post, maybe that will help.

Well I know our dogs had problems in ak b/c it's so dang dry there. Do you keep a humidifier running? With it running all the time ...two, ...we had trouble keeping even 30% humidity INSIDE our house. Anyway, that may help if the problem gets worse.
Baley periodically will have dry skin around one eye--it is always the same one. I have used a little "oil free eye make-up remover" on him and it clears it right up. That product is safe for use around the eye and has an enough moisturizing properties without oil. It works like a charm!
