Contact Dermatits - Eyelids

[Everley]

I seem to have developed what I think is contact dermatitis on my eyelids. Does anyone have any recommendations of an eye product that would help soothe the skin & heal it? My current eye cream is just irritating the skin further. Thanks

A very thin layer of Vaseline is soothing and shouldn't irritate your eyes. Worked for me x

Cheers! Will give that a try

Not specifically for the eyes but Cetraben has been a life saver for me, it was prescribed to me but you can get it from Superdrug etc. After a few days I cut that down to once in the morning and use aloe Vera gel throughout the day and it's worked wonders - also seems to help with the discolouration a bit as well :)

Thank you! The discolouration isn’t too noticeable on my skin tone, thankfully. But it’s sore and very flaky. I’ll check out the Cetraben

0.5 hydrocortisone cream if it is contact dermatitis. It’s prescription only although it’s one of the weakest steroid creams, so discuss with your GP

Ahh lucky you @Everley, I'm south Asian so end up looking like I've been in a fight when it flares up
