Eczema on eyelid??

[ladyicon]

You become allergic to things as you age. I was never allergic till I woke up one morning with the puffy eye thing .I used to be allergic to strawberries, but have since outgrown it ( love berries ).

Any ways, back to the eyes.....I used to get allergy shots but after 5 yrs. could not handle the committment. I now use Lidex (prescribed). i do not like the steroid thing either, but I was more desperate to have normal eyes . I also take Zyrtec every day. Let me know if you find anything natural that works. Use the steroid cream till you can get it under control.

After all the rains that we have had, and now the warmer weather, makes all those mold spores fly around.

I hope you find a cure, but you are not alone. Good luck, let me know what the Dr. says.

Silver Daughter has this. I hadn't replied before because we've never found a really god solution.

But she's sitting right here and I asked her what worked best. She says that Elidel is best. It's a non-steroid eczema creme.

But the solution is really more involved than that. She's done allergy shots, and all kinds of testing plus seeing an Eczema Expert in Louisville. Seems like the eyelid reaction happens when the allergies are really on overload. So she has done the shots, takes an antihistimine, avoids her allergens and treats the eyes. In other words, reduce your overall allergy exposure and the eyelid issue will get a little better.
