Eczema Treatment Care

Hello.

I was born with atopic dermatitis, and as a result of such have very itchy, usually inflamed, and bumpy red eyelids.

I was looking to find out as to whether or not frequent(2-3 times daily) applications of corticosteroids on my eyelids pose any risk other than that of atrophy?

I am referring to cortizone and triamcinolone acetonide corticosteroids. I have read warnings that triamcinolone can cause glaucoma if it comes into contact with the eye, but as to the eyelids it does not mention.

My old doctor told me that it was safe to use on my eyes, but I do not think he took into account at the time the frequency of my uses.

Please no answers unless you’re somewhat educated on the subject. Guesswork is whats getting me to post right now.

Thanks in advance.
