DRY CRACKED SKIN ON EYELIDS

I have had dry, swollen, cracked, peeling skin on my eyelids which has become progressively worse over 7 years.  Have been prescribed cortisone but only is an overnight cure.  Is this exceme?  or psoriasis?  or allergies?  How can I get over this???  HELP!!!

Did it work?  Do you still have the issue or is it gone??  Did you find the cause??

Where are you now on all of this??

I agree!!  I think mine is diet related and in conjunction with yeast.  I am going to attempt to eat only vegetables and protein for a while and see what happens.  I will sorely miss what I think is contributing to it, wine, cheese, beer, sugar.  Ugh!!  In the meantime, what have you found to sooth the cracks and soreness?

I have read most of these posts and also saw both at Ulta, and later in more posts, the Marco cream was no longer available. I purchased a different one with coconut oil since I also saw that was recommended. Has any received an actual diagnoses? I have seen derm 3x, opthomologist and estatician. Its getting worse and recent spread from left side to right side.

Neen149 did you ever get an answer to your question on whether the recommendation was from a doctor. I am dealing with this and spent some time reading years worth of these posts.
