Hi all,
I’m new to the forum.
I’m looking for help as my Dr and derm don’t seem to be able to.
About 3 months ago I developed strange dry (flaky)patches under my eyes. I think it was caused by over use of Elemis pro collagen cleansing balm in my eye area.
For a couple months I tried everything natural at home - coconut oil, olive oil, Vaseline, childs farm baby moisturiser but nothing worked and it was just getting worse and more inflamed. When I smile I have wrinkles where there weren’t any before.
I then went to the dr who gave me 1% hydrocortisone with fucidic acid. It had no affect after 2 weeks of morning and night application so they then moved me onto just the steroid cream. I’ve now been using that for 3 weeks with no change. The ‘wrinkles’ are very deep and very pronounced and have aged me considerably- especially as I had none before. Can anyone help/advise what would help?
If someone can help me figure out how to post picture, I will.
Thank you! |

The only thing that helped me when I ended up with an excema-like rash and dry patches under my eyes was a GLA supplement. It wasn't instantaneous but it was effective.
GLA Skin Oil

Hope that helps some!  |

| Havana, did you take GLA only internally to get results or also applied externally? |

I used it internally as a supplement, 1T in yogurt, but I know you can also apply it externally. |

WOW! 1% hydrocortisone under the eyes just for dryness? What a dangerous and unnecessary recommendation.
I would use a low conc Vit C in the day and a ceramide product at night.

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide NIGHT CREAM |
