Is there anything to put on contact dermatitis around the eyes?


my daughter came home from her grandmothers yesterday with her eyes almost swelled shut and severe redness all the way across the bridge of her nose this has never happened to her before i took her straight to the hospital and they said it was contact dermatitis they gave her a steroid shot and she takes oral medication 3 times a day. now that the swelling is going down its starting to itch and hurt and nothing i have found can go around the eyes any information on what i might be able to put on her for some relief would be greatly appreciated

Try calling your pharmacist, optometrist, or PCP and they should be able to give you suggestions.

There are certain steriod creams that can be used around the eyes but they are PRESCRIPTION ONLY. Don't use the over the counter ones that are for regular rashes and itchiness because they can damage the eyes. Go to a dermatologist and they can give you a prescription for the one that is useable around the eye.

2 points: DONT let her keep rubbing it. And DONT seek relief in OTC eye drops.
