How can i get rid of a rash around my eyes?
I have a rash around my eyes, & it looks a lot like dry skin. I went to my doctor and she said that i have eczema. I've tried all types of creams and medicines to get it to go away, but nothing works. :( if anyone has any ideas of how to get rid of bad eczema, then plz help :/ thanks

keep it dry as much as possible. Soon as you get out of the shower pat the area dry (be very gentle with the eye area or you may prematurely wrinkle). Use a cream with a heavy silicone or even use plain old vaseline. This is usually not good for the eye area but in your case it is. It creates a barrier and usually works on eczema. Don’t use eye creams. They are not heavy enough to create the barrier you need and they quite commonly have ingredients like retinol which can make the eczema worse.
If the Dr. didn’t prescribe you anything, go to your pharmacy and purchase a tube of cortisone cream and use that under the vaseline. Don’t use it for long periods though. I would say a week max. Using it twice a day.
I’m not pro tanning or anything but the UV light helps alot – From the sun or a tanning bed.

DON’T rub or scratch or touch it . Use the meds given to you by the doctor .
