Have Eczema On The Eyelid. Using Glaxal Base Cream. Eczema Reoccurs. Cure For Symptoms?

I have eczema located on my right upper eyelid. The area that is being affected is about the size of a dime and is close to my nose. I have been using Glaxal Base Cream at least 3 times per day to moisturize the affected area. It seems to me that eczema comes and goes. I find it a bit irritating. What would your recommendation be?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.

Glaxal is just a moisturizing cream.

It will prevent the dryness but cannot control eczema.

You need to apply a mild steroid ointment like mometasone.

This will take care of the inflammation.

Also take an anti histamine tablet for the itch.

Dont worry you may get relief with this.

Please meet a dermatologist and discuss regarding this.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
