A member asked:
My child has eczema. her eyes are red and they swell. seem to swell at night and go down in the day, but stay red. i was told to use desonide for her rashes. does this sound like eczema or side effect?

Eye allergy: Desonide will help the eczema but your child may have eye allergies. You may want to see an allergy specialist.

No: It sounds like the child has allergic tendencies. Eczema is one feature. Since eyes swell, trigger might be close to her eyes or nose...Like a pillow. An allergist could evaluate for specific allergies.
