Hi! Ieczema on my eyelids for the past year, not particularly severe but they’ve swelled every now and again and been dry. I did have a couple of days where I hesitantly applied a mild steroid , although this was minimal application. I’m not sure if this has anything to do with my problem or just a coincidence.
