Oh, I soooooooooo feel for you. I had very extreme eczema on my face and scalp for years and tried EVERYTHING. I went to dermatologist and got prescriptions, I had facials, I bought expensive lotions and creams and nothing worked. Last Christmas my best friend loaned me a weekend trial kit of Arbonne's NutriminRe anti-aging kit. I figured I had nothing to lose and was absolutely AMAZED that my eczema began to clear up just in the 2 days use! Because there was a special running, my husband bought me the complete kit as my Christmas gift and I've never stopped using the stuff. It CAN get very expensive but no more expensive than buying product after product to try out. I would recommend getting the Hydrating Wash, the Restoring Mist/Balancing Toner, the Facial Serum, the SPF Day cream and if you can afford it, the companion night cream. The entire kit (with a few more products than named above) runs around $266 and lasts about 6-8 months. My husband realized we would be spending roughly $40 a month and when he looked at it that way, it didn't seem so bad. Otherwise, definetly get as many products as you can. As I've run out of each product, I've discovered that having all the other products aside from the one item I've run out of isn't enough. It's having the full combination that makes it work. Studies are coming out now from pediatricians who are discovering that Arbonne is helping children with eczema. Hope this helps, website link for the corporate company is below. You might try searching for a Consultant in your area to see if they can cut you a deal or let you try a kit for a weekend!

Ouch, I have that too. I tried over-the-counter stuff (including hydrocortisone), but nothing worked. I went to my dermatologist, and he gave me samples for a prescription cream to use at night whenever it flared up. That's made a huge difference--I hardly ever have a problem with it anymore, and I haven't even had to get a prescription filled for the cream, because the samples made such a big difference; plus, a little cream goes a long way. It's not a steroid, so it's safe to use near your eyes (just not on your eyeballs :). I'd see your dermatologist, and be very specific about what's going on: tell him/her that OTC creams like hydrocortisone have NOT WORKED. My last dermatologist just blew it off, so make him know that it's serious!

Answer 5

I had just the same problem. It went away with a mild cortisone cream. You don't have to use it for long, and the doctor ok'd it. See what your doc says.

I've found Ungentum Merck works well in soothing mild ecsema but haven't tried it near the eyes.

Work out what's causing it. In my case it was cheap make-up. Face cream can also be a culprit. Try not to use any products anywhere near the eyes. If you only have ecsema on your eyelids and not elsewhere on your face it may well be make up or even contact lens solution that is causing it.

Answer 6

You can use a mixture of a steroid cream and a regular lotion. I use a mixture of Lubriderm (unscented) and a steroid cream known as Amcinonide. Even though it is a steroid cream, it doesn't burn or cause any irritation to the eyes, just as long as u dont rub it in too hard. Simply layer it on lightly and hopefully it works out alright.

Answer 7

I often have problems with really, REALLY dry skin on my eyelids and just under the eyebrows and found something at Boot's which really helps.I don't have it at hand so can't tell you the actual name but it's consistency wise close to Vaseline and is a balm of some sort meant to be used on rough patches like elbows and ankles and the like. Boot's home brand. Sorry about not being more precise.

Answer 8

You should give Dr Wheatgrass Recovery Cream a try. This product works great for me. The good thing about it is that it's all natural with no side effects. Better yet, the doctor who invented this has been successfully treating his patients for over 10 years with it. Check out their website below to get more info.

Answer 9

I too have it occasionally on my eyelids. I think some of my eye makeup is drying.

I use Hydrocortizone cream on it or plain Vaseline at night when I go to bed. It is always gone in the morning.

Good Luck with it.

Answer 10

Maybe an allergy to your nail polish. One rub of the eye causes a reaction that keeps you going back for more. That is where my sister's problem came from. There are a lot of eye makeup products she can not use either - but the gassing off of the nail polish is not all that uncommon, but is little know.

Answer 11

There is a cream but you better see a doctor since it is on your
eyelid which is not very fleshy. Eczema in human medical
terminology is known as Psoriasis. Please do not self medicate.
Hydro cortisone only calms the itch but does not cure. I have the
same problem, from head to toe but only one spot on my eyelid.
I am serious about visiting a skin specialist. Take good care,
you owe it to yourself and, I am sure, to others also. I wish you
well - Iain
