I am experiencing dry, itchy, and swollen skin around my eyes. What medicine or ointment should I use to treat this?

Asked by Female, 32 · 3 days ago

These symptoms are common and highly treatable, often pointing to eyelid dermatitis or mild eczema. For immediate relief, apply a bland, fragrance-free emollient or pure petroleum jelly to hydrate the skin. Avoid cosmetics, soaps, and rubbing your eyes. For the itching and swelling, a doctor may prescribe a mild generic topical steroid, like hydrocortisone 1% cream, to be used sparingly for a few days, or a non-steroidal cream. An oral generic antihistamine like cetirizine can also help reduce itching. Since the skin around the eyes is delicate, please consult a healthcare professional for a proper examination before starting any steroid treatment.
