Question:
Eczema on my eyelid
Ever since I took malaria tablets about 18 months ago I get a little patch of eczema on my eye lid - it seems to flair up if I'm stressed or having late nights, partying, etc.
I have been using Eucerin cream which does help a little but wondered if anyone else suffers from it as the Doc is reluctant to give me steroid cream for it as its on my eye lid and the steriod cream will thin my eyelid out.
Its really doing my head in !! :boohoo:
:(
I get it too, I can totally sympathise :( :( My doc gave me hydrocortisone cream which he told me to only use for 1 week, as you said, it thins the skin, so I can understand if you don't want to use a steroid cream. But mine was really bad and this helped a lot just in a week.
Now I use Allergenics Ointment Cream - you can get it in Boots and Holland & Barratt for about a fiver and it's really helped me. I just put a tiny amount on each eyelid mornign and night with my regular eye cream :)

Thank you sweetie - I shall get some at the weekend.

You're very welcome - I tried loads of other stuff but this is the best one for me :) Hope it works for you too.
Shea butter! I don't have eczema myself but I keep recommending this to people, 100% natural too.
