Suggest Remedy For Red Puffy Rash Around Eyes

I m a 51 year old male and I recently developed a red sort of puffy rash-like condition that is located around my eyes (on cheekbones) and in the middle of my forehead between eyebrows. Sound like anything you are familiar with? Worse in the morning after first waking up. Moisturizer no help. Triple antibiotic ointment no help.
