A member asked:
What cream or medicine is safe to use under my eyes for an eczema break out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cream: You can try cetaphil cream first. This is over the counter. If it does not work, you can try a steroid cream such as aristocort, (triamcinolone) but be aware that it may cause secondary cataracts or glaucoma. If the eczema persists, see your local dermatologist.
