itchy, burning, flaking eye lids

[karen715]

My eyelid and the area above it and below my eyebrow is very itchy and flakey -- haven't found anything that helps.  Is there any kind of cream that will help without burning and making it worse?  It was diagnosed as egzama (sp), a long time ago, but the cream given to me made it worse and it eventually went away on its own...now it's back and driving me crazy!  Haven't started anything new.

Hi there -

I get this when I wear pink or pink-toned eye shadow.  Perhaps its just the coloring in something that is causing it.

Hi,

Welcome to our community.  I am not sure what to suggest as a mom to allergic kids I have plenty of experience but too much in the eczema arena.

Have you tried hypoallergenic non-soap products when washing your face like Cetaphil?  Also, not using a makeup remover and only water may help too ... if your eye makeup contains an allergin, it could be causing this reaction if you use makeup.  Just a thought.

Nothing worse than itchy, flaking eyes .. very painful and annoying I bet.
