However, this time the things got really awful, even starting to swell around the eyelid due to cut which I can NOT recall how I got this 'cut.'
Wonder what form of skin problem above the eyelid of my right eye I got? Everyday, I keep applying crean and bactine that helps some but still no much to heal it.
More likely it is eczema, a local sensitivity usually no triggered by anything in particular. I recommend that you try 1% hydrocortisone twice a day on the lid. If it's eczema, it should get much better in 2-3 days. If not, let a doctor have a look. Don't use hydrocortisone constantly in that area, but a couple of days is safe, and should tell the tale.
If moisturizers on their own don't help and the eczema is severe, a doctor may prescribe topical corticosteroid ointments, creams, or injections. Corticosteroids have traditionally been considered the most effective method of treating severe eczema.
It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for your symptoms and a proper clinical examination if your symptoms persist.
Let us know about how you are doing and if you need any other information.
