Q: i have redness around the skin of both of my eyes and it stings when i rub it. its been a reoccurring problem and will not go away. what can i do?

: One of the common causes is contact dermatitis from the cosmetic products. You can use steroid cream (hydrocortisone 1% OTC) on the redness skin without touching your eyes as a trial but you must exclude the possible offender one by one for preventing the recurrence.
