Eczema around eyes driving me crazy

Alan — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 14:51:21 +0000

i have been suffering with eczema around my eyes for about 2 years now. I originally went to dermatologist and he gave me a steroid cream, I used it for 1 yr on and off because I did not know how bad the cream would be in the long run. Also as soon as I would stop using it within 1 week I was back to the same problem, red itchy, swollen, flaky skin. this is my first video and just testing it but in time I will put up more with my progress. I have recently started an alkaline acid diet which balances the pH levels in your body. I also use Avene products which have helped somewhat. If anyone has any advice please feel free to comment. thanks

Get a referral to a dermatologist to rule out allergies. My granddaghter got it bad and we finally found out she’s slightly allergic to some things — second hand smoke being the biggest culprit.
We did the following and it finally cleared up:
- got a prescription for when it was really bad to stop the itching and spread
- put Alpha Keri Bath Oil in the water (this seemed most helpful). Never found a generic substitute that worked well
– there’s lotions that are better for this than baby lotion — check with dermatologist
– stopped cow dairy and went to goat’s milk formula or rice mil
– add 1/4 teaspoon of children’s cod liver oil to her formula twice a day.

Should i use hydrocortisone for eczema around my eyes?

Question by musiclover: Should i use hydrocortisone for eczema around my eyes?
I have eczema all around my eyes.
I’m wondering if it is safe for me to use hydrocortisone around them.
I’ve heard it has a little storoid type stuff in it and i’m worried it might soak into my eyes through my skin and damage my eyes. and i wouldn’t want that!
Do you think it would be safe?

Itchy rash around eyes, mouth, armpits, and thighs?

Alan — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 10:45:05 +0000

I have had a very red, itchy rash in various parts of my body for a month and a half, supposedly caused by an allergic reaction. The rash is around my eyes (upper and lower eyelids, extending to the brow ridge), around my mouth, under my left armpit, on my inner thighs, and on my left nipple. The rash is very red and has clearly defined borders. Sometimes the rash on my eyes is so swollen, I am unable to see and cannot drive to work. The rash around my mouth makes it so that when I open my mouth wide enough (to eat a sandwich or burger), the corners split open and bleed. I have been to 4 different allergists, and 2 different dermatologists, and nothing has been figured out other than that it is contact dermatitis. I have been on three rounds of prednisone, which eliminate the rash completely (but have very nasty side effects), have tried cortisone cream (did not work), and various other prescription-strength anti-itch cream (did not work). I have been on hydroxyzine, a prescription-strength antihistamine (did not work). I have eliminated all possible allergens that come into the contact with my body. I have stopped using deoderent, I switched to baby shampoo, I stopped using shaving cream, I switched to cetaphil (unsecented, hypoallergenic) body wash, and I have stopped using sunscreen. I stopped using fabric softener, I use ivory flakes laundry detergent, and have switched my bedding. I have even stayed at a different house for a week to see if the allergen was where I was living and the rash still got worse. I was blood-tested for various auto-immune diseases like lupus and the results came out negative. It seems like my doctors have all given up and want to put me on prednisone for the rest of my life to mask the symptoms but not try to figure out the problem.

How can you control eczema around your eyes?

Alan — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:22:48 +0000

Every winter I get eczema around my eyes and today it is especially red and irritated. I know that is a sensitive area and normal creams and topical steroids that you would ordinarily use are not good to use near the eyes. Are there any over-the-counter creams or gels I could find to help with this? It is bothersome and unattractive. Thanks!

I Wake Up With Swollen Eyes (both Upper And Lower Lids) And Have Puss Coming Out In Large Amounts (both Eyes)?

Alan — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:43:40 +0000

I normally wear contact lenses, have atopic dermatitis, am allergic to smoke, and only wear special mascara for sensitive skin. First time I had this, I was told that my eyes started rejecting contact lenses so I’ve changed the type. A&E gave me erithromicin to treat possible infection, which I developed allergy for and refused to treat me further since the swell was gone. All four lids get swollen like a baloon and I can’t move them and hardly see anything as well. White inner part also gets swollen on both eyes so I can’t really move the eyes either. And it hurts like hell. Before that the puss is coming out in massive amounts both from upper and lower lids. It normally happens after the night out. I thought it was contact lenses; however, last night I was wearing glasses, so now I start thinking that it’s the reaction to smoke. I had this 2 or 3 times with the old lens type and everything was good since I got new ones (about 2 months ago).
