Allergy/intolerance: Good job giving up these food items. Many people do better without them. You are best served by avoiding them the rest of your life.

Eczema?: Sounds like it could have been eczema (aka atopic dermatitis) which can be diet controlled. Alternatively, it could be psoriasis. Lastly, it could have been contact dermatitis and completely unrelated to your diet. The important thing is that it is gone. If it comes back, consider seeing an ophthalmologist.
