Anyone had periocular dermatitis?

[iamnatalia83]

Developed this on eyes. GP has prescribed hydrocortisone cream. Does anyone have any tips? Looking for a sensitive spf also she said use hypoallergenic makeup only so I need to research that too. Can you get rid of it completely? No idea where it's from.

Yes, I had a touch of this after/alongside perioral dermatitis. Most awful thing which seems to be misunderstood. There's a brilliant group on Facebook called Perioral Dermatitis support group which I'd recommend. The upshot is that topical steroids might help initially but the problem will return with a vengeance. For eyes, the best thing is to leave well alone, apart from some tea tree eye wipes, but please speak to the group, and good luck with your recovery. If you have it elsewhere on your face, there's other recommendations such as sulphur mask, soap etc.

That's great advice. I didn't know that about steroids, good to know! I will check the group out thankyou!
