Would You Consider It Safe To Use Chemivita Vitamin A Ointment Around The Eye Area ?
Would you consider it safe to use Chemivita Vitamen A ointment around the eye area. Have had an eye infection & irritated skin around eye for a month. AFter course of antibiotics, infection better but skin still red and flaky & sore. I am not wanting to make it worse obviously but looking for some improvement without having to go back to my GP all the time. Any suggestions please? Thank you - AAAA

hello,
as you mentioned your skin is red and sore.you can use lactocalamine lotion for it as a soothing agent.vitamin a ointment around eye is ok but avoid using same hand of application for eye rubing. wash hand properly. it should not enter in your eyes any ways.you should also avoid sun exposure because it can make your skin worse.
take care
