Not really sure where to post this! Sorry if I've gone for the wrong place.

I've been struggling for a couple of weeks with dry patches under my eyes.

Have attached a few pictures. Has anyone seen anything similar before? Any idea how to treat it?

I'm quite sensitive skinned. I had tried 'Child's Farm Unfragranced Baby Moisturiser' however I think it's too heavy for such a sensitive area.

Also not keen on steroid cream as although it helps heal quickly, it weakens the skin making it more likely to come back.

I have contacted doctor but not heard back yet.

Understandably I've been avoiding any type of make up, however on the odd occasion put mascara on as my eyelashes are fair and it makes me feel a bit better about the fact I'm walking around with huge red patches under both eyes.

My dh just had this if it’s the same thing, eczema. Your doctor should be able to recommend some non steroid emollient cream and anti inflammatories if it’s flared up because of an allergy

Thank you! I'm unsure what's caused it to flare up.. which is annoying
