"I have eczema on my eye lid. It looks horrible. How do you treat eyelids? I know you shouldn’t use a steroid cream on eyelids. "

    Hi @Kathy - eczema on eyelids is no fun whatsoever! Personally, I try never to use steroids on my face, it can make things worse in my case. I actually use a tiny amount of moisturizer after showering and that helps me. Have you got dry skin or is the skin open on the eyelids? I hope you get relief soon. Thanks for sharing!
