Question Can you..

Can you use a steroid cream in the eye area?
I have horrible rashes around both of my eyes.. swelling & purpley red bumps. Soo itchy. Can I use one of my steroid creams for this?
Antihistamines are not helping either.

Re: Can you..

I would not use steroids near the eye because of the connection between steroids and glaucoma. I would see a doctor for an Rx for a non-steroid cream like Elidel

Re: Can you..

true... never thought about that!
Elidel doesn't help me =(
My eczema is very hard to control once it gets going.
I hope I don't have to take prednisone! *screams and runs away* LOL.
