I am currently suffering with eczema on my face, mainly around the creases either side of my mouth, but also tiny patches to the sides of my eyes. In the past I've only really suffered with stress eczema (years ago) but after going through a really awful and stressful time over the past year or so, it flared up badly on the back of my neck and although the stress has lessened recently, I still get the back of the neck flare ups but also now on my face, which I am more bothered by as it's so visible. It gets really dry and flakey and can be quite red too.
I've been trying La Roche Posay Cicaplast balm, on a recommendation from a friend. It doesn't seem to be helping much though. I know you're not supposed to use hydrocortisone on your face but I have resorted to using it very thinly every so often as it's the only thing that seems to help. But I don't want to keep doing this, and I wondered - does anyone have any top tips for facial eczema please? I'd love to find something natural that helps to soothe the redness and combat the dry flaking skin. It's making me feel so ugly at the moment.
