Sore eyelids help?

My eyelids have become sore with flaky skin, they’ve been like this for probably 5-6 weeks now. What soothing thing can I put on to help?

I have had this. But only on one eye. It’s really odd. Never had it before but had it 3 x in 6 months. The pharmacist gave me Epimax eyelid ointment. I works like a charm.

I get this but only on my left eye. I’ve been having a flare recently and weirdly, 3 other people I know have the same at the moment and all on the left side only!

Me too. It’s so weird! I also had scleritis in that eye last year. Not sure if it’s related to biological MS treatment.

Have you always had orbital eczema, this appeared a few weeks ago, never had it before?

No only within the last year! First episode when I was really stressed and now flares again every time I’m very run down

Hmm, I’ve also been having a lot of stress in the last few months.
thanks, I’ll check it with gp as I need something to actually clear it
