I need advise on how to treat eczema on my eye lid? I'm afraid to put anything stronger than lotions on it because it's so close to my eye! Anything I can suggest to my dr. about something that works the best? I've never had this before in my entire life and non of my family members, even extended family members have ever delt with eczema. I'm really curious as to why I suddenly broke out with it. Any suggesstions or anwers would be really helpful! Thanks so much!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Just be gentle with your eyelid for a while, wash it gently with cool water (or weak salt water) and put a small dab of bland moisturizer on. Putting a warm used teabag on the eyelid can help sooth it. The skin will gradually heal itself and over a week it while calm down and begin to return to normal.
On the other hand it could be a sign of an infection like a sty or conjunctivitis.
I have eczema on my eyelids too (as well as other places but that's not really relevant), and i find that washing my sheets with a double rinse and without fabric softener makes more of a difference than you realize.
Also, cut things marked antibacterial out.
As far as asking your doctor, I'd simply see what he recommends. Everything works differently for everyone.
