I have suffered with eczema really badly around my eyes now for a fair few years (I am 20) but it flares up so bad at times that sometimes I look like a panda (basically 2 red circles around my eyes). I have been to the doctors and have been prescribed numerous creams and ointments, the latest being hydrocortisone 1% and oilatum. I have been previously referred to see a dermatologist but again all they did was say here is a bag of creams and ointments try them all, in which none worked. With it being on my eyes I obviously have to be careful with what I put on them and with the hydrocortisone I can only use it for 3 days, once a day. They say not to scratch or rub because it makes it worse, but with it being on the eyes its difficult not to as the first thing you do on a morning is rub your eyes or when you get tired. It also makes me feel really conscious when people point it out all the time..saying like why are your eyes so red etc. I was wondering if anyone else has suffered from really bad exzema on their eyes and if they can recommend anything.
