My eczema flared up again under my eyes. what treatments are available to cure my outbreak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OTC and prescription: Simple home remedies involve cool compresses for itchy eyelids & providing moisture (try aquaphor or vasoline to the lids) to prevent dryness & avoid flare ups. Treat seasonal allergies (allergy drops or an otc antihistamine). Another option is to ask your md about using a nonsteroidal cream/ointment (such as elidel/protopic). Both are prescription only and may be costly, but an option for severe cases.
