How Should Red, Puffiness Along With Swelling Under The Eye Be Treated?
Question: The last few weeks my under eye area is getting worse. I woke up one morning with them puffy, swollen, red, etc. now itchy with some flaky skin on the red area. I've been taking Loratadine 10mg the last two weeks for sneezing, etc. and thought this was allergy related but it seems worse.
Brief Answer:
Eczematous rash, topical steroid, moisturizing cream, antihistaminic
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is looking like an eczematous rash.
If I were your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily along with a frequent and liberal application of a moisturizing cream on the entire face 2-3 times in a day.
Also, take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
