Asymmetrical eyelids after eczema - is this ptosis? (photos)

Asked By:Giving847320 in Scotland, United Kingdom

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. Anyway, recently I’ve noticed one eyelid feeling watery and heavier than the other and lid looks bigger. Is this ptosis or something else? What are my options?
