Eye eczema

Pregnancy has bought on a pretty extreme eczema flare up and I'm really suffering with my eye area, both eyelids are covered aswell as the inner corners towards my nose and underneath eye. It's severe and very painful and so, so itchy. It hurts less when my eyes are closed which is obviously hard to do throughout the day. It's really getting me down. I've been to my GP who prescribed a hydrocortisone cream and cetraben, it looks a bit less red and angry but the itching and soreness hasn't eased.

Has anyone had this? It's just awful and I don't know how to control the itching.

Bepanthen nappy rash cream always helps when mine flares up or when the skin is irritated.
