Please go your GP or dermatologist, periorbital dermatitis/eczema is difficult to treat, rather than steroids another cream is recommended such as pimecrolimus

[@karenharding8747]

Oh my gosh, me too. A Dr prescribed non steroidal cream helped at first, but i think I'm just going to have to chuck out a whole lot of products and start from scratch. Thanks for the tips on products available in Australia. Definitely learning a lot about the cosmetics I use!

[@AngelaCelesteMay]

Also keep in mind that certain food sensitivities can trigger eczema as well. It was very frustrating for me for a long time because multiple things were triggering my eczema to the point that it felt like if I just existed I'd have eczema breakouts. With trial-and-error and the wisdom of my mom who first told me about the Elimination Diet, over time I realized that my emotional state (stress, lack of rest) together with eating too many starches, gluten sensitivity, chemicals like spraying Lysol (even if it didn't touch my skin my husband pointed out that inhaling it can be a trigger which was true), too many citrus fruits, and other things that I discovered one-by-one were cumulatively making my skin go crazy. Now I can have citrus but not every day, I clean with natural products instead of Lysol and I make sureto wear my cleaning gloves, I enjoy gluten food but only a couple days a week, and other things that have worked for me. I've always been good about drinking water so that was helpful and daily 2-4 cups of organic green tea has also been fantastic for building my immune system. I hope that helps.

[@ItsNotOkaySo]

@@AngelaCelesteMay Caffeine/some foods trigger an autoimmune response in me, I noticed after I had a caffeine tea once, my body went haywire and eczema started flaring up in places I haven’t had it in years…mainly eyelids. So yes it can be an internal problem as opposed to external.

[@DrKayExplains]

Eczema around the eyes (and in general) is SUCH a tricky thing to treat! Traditionally as GPs we've only had limited things- mostly steroids and emollients. It's good to see a step by step and no-fuss guide for all of us to refer to!

[@meditationescape6399]

Refer to dermatologist, its true periorbital dermatitis/eczema is difficult to treat, rather than steroids another cream is recommended such as pimecrolimus

[@DrKayExplains]

Yes, absolutely. Although here in the UK, more and more GPs are managing this condition and can also prescribe and monitor the use of tacrolimus topically 👍🏾

This is what I did to calm my eye eczema down. Rinse my face with cool water. Pat dry with paper towel but leave skin damp. Use Cortisone 10 to break the itch cycle twice day and night. Use Laroche Posay Lipikar Baume AP+ day and night as well as moisturize as needed throughout the day. I usually use Cerave BUT it just wasn't moisturizing like I need. I also drank a lot more water and got plenty of rest at night.

Would you agree that we should use Distilled or demineralised water in a humidifier? 2. May I also know what is the best humidity level for our skin to stay healthy? 3. As I watched your video, And fully understand perfume and essential oil on your skin is a big No-No. How about adding natural organic essential oil, such as lavender oil into the humidifier being seen as a No-No for our skin too?

I find the trigger for me is when the weather changes, it has happened both in the winter and summer! I'm experiencing it at the moment too. Thank you for those product recommendations! I'll definitely check them out! I've been using Vaseline every night after i apply the Cerave eye cream but I've had to stop since the eczema flare up started and treat with the hydrocortisone again. So I'll be excited to try one of those products :)

[@PoM-MoM]

Please tell/alert your patients, friends, family who have this concern and also on face in general to buy makeup that doesn't contain Silicone's. The majority of ALL makeup, cheap or high dollar use silicone, trimethicone and DIMETHICONE. Also these cause skin lesions and bumps which mimic Rosecea AND Demodex. I went through 7 months of at home, at dermatologist, PCP trial and error.... a couple thousand dollars of meds topicals etc only to discover I had almost over night developed an allergy to Silicone's, primarily DIMETHICONE. It is hard to find makeups, concealers and even very expensive face lotions/creams that don't contain it. Thanks so much for passing the word/warning on. 😊

[@sarahc377]

Hi Dr V, thank you so much for this video. My eczema around my eyes is still a constant battle and I completely agree with what you say about the steroid creams. I’ve been using corticosteroids for a looooong time and my eyes are still flakey and just as dry! Just a quick question, when you say not to use actives... is it still ok to use it around my face and just avoid the eye area or just don’t use actives whatsoever on the face until the eye area has been repaired? Thank you ☺️❤️

Thankyou for this. I want to share something that actually worked for me and is not recommended. I stopped moisturizing! Yes! I was getting contact dermatitis on my eyes for past one month on and off. I dreaded steroids, so when i saw the skin is bit calm i stopped using it and after couple of days started skipping moisturizer after every two days and it helped tremendously! I feel like skin should build up resistance on its own. But i do not rec this for severe eczema, please follow your derm but just wanted to share❤️

[@JamesFilbird]

Great video. Very informative and helpful. I'm using Vaseline to rid my eye rash that I got from a sleep eye covering made with a fabric that I believe I'm allergic to. I'm not applying anything to my eyes since I learned that petroleum jelly is the best thing to cure my dry, red skin around my eyes. I tried many good quality lotions, creams and moisturizers but they just made my rash even worse. The Vaseline started working to rid my skin redness and soreness immediately. Additionally, I'm placing a tissue between the sleep eye covering and my skin that I replace each night until I purchase a new sleep aid for my eyes. BTW, I like watching you in your videos. 😍🤩🥰

[@Angel141103]

I literally developed this contact dermatitis around my eyes last few weeks, never suffered from eczema before.
