Hi Weelass,
Please don't put any hydrocortisone on or near your eyes. You really need to see your doctor and make sure it's not eczema. You may need the prescription eye drops 'Patanol'. I hope you feel well soon. :)

Hi I get all three: asthma, eczema and allergies. They all have gotten better as I got older. I'm 46. Regarding your puffy eyes... sounds like allergies to me. Glad u made an appt with Dr. During the allergy season, I keep windows closed. I shower from head to toe every night and change pillow cases often. It's a good idea to shower every night and wash all the stuff out of your head and body. Plus the water flowing down your eyelids is a good wash. It's so windy here (NY) today that it looks like rain coming down and its actually all the particles from grass and trees blowing around.

I tried patanol (eye drops) and it didn't help. It actually made my eye feel pain so that med was not good for me. Good luck. I wish i could stay indoors 24-hours til this allergy season for me passed!!
