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.
