If it is eczema, I would highly recommend
Protopic as an alternative to the steroid based options. I've had eczema most of my life and have tried alot of the various creams and this works like a treat. It does however take a couple of days to get working and is not very good at aleviating the itchyness but for what it does it is a small downside. It is also totally safe to use on the face / eyelids etc.
