Possibly yes: It could be eczema. It is hard to diagnose it without looking at it but eczema is a skin rash that is dry, red, flakey and itchy. It responds to steroid creams but use steroids on the face cautiously as it may cause side effects like thinning the skin and color change.

My eyes have been itchy/red. At times the white part would get swollen. Not pain. Tried Allergex eye drops but wasn't much help. Pharmacist gave me allergy pills but they are not much help. Worried there could be something wrong with the eyes. ?
