Red, itchy, flakey eyelids

I am a 23 year old male.

I started having dry, redness over my eyes about 2 months ago. Now my entire eyelid is red and itchy. I have tried really good lotions, vasaline, and allergy eye drops but nothing seems to help it. Now it looks like it is going to start under my eye and I don't even want to go to work looking like this.I was wondering if anyone has had this condition or if they know anything about it. I need to find something because I do not have health insurance and I cannot pay for the walk in clinic. Please anything, thank you!

It is a possibility that you have eczema on  your eyes, I have had this since i was younger you can try hydrocortisone which you can buy at any neighborhood drug store aside from that I don't know what it could be. I hope this helps

if it eczema wash your eyes with a cotton ball and baby shampoo at least once a day i noticed a improvement to the red flaky leather rash around the eyes with 24 hours
