I have had eczema around both eyes for almost 3 weeks. What can I apply to relieve this?

My eyelids are very irritated and itchy. I also have eyelids that are starting to swell slightly.

Hello! It would be a good idea to start by applying a non-smoke moisturizer (e.g. ceramide-based) and to protect your skin adequately from the sun. Do you suffer from seasonal allergies? Eye and eyelid irritation can be a symptom ;) Antihistamines and allergy eye drops may be good alternatives if this is the case.
A low strength cortisone cream can be applied to the face and eyelids (e.g. hydrocortisone 0.5%) to treat eczema, taking care that it does not get into the eyes. Hope to see you soon,
