Brief Answer:
The possible cause are irritative dermatitis or bacterial infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your question to HCM,
Can you provide a clinical photo of that skin area around eye, so that I can have an idea of how it looks?
From the information you have written me, looks like the doctors have evaluated as a allergic dermatitis (the citrizien syrup and cetaphil moisturiser is suggestive of that).
In my opinion,generally this area is very difficult to be a bacterial infection, so there might be possibility of an irritative dermatitis.
The steroid cream or ointment with antibiotic cream combination like (Tenovate-N) might help it if it is red, inflamed, and most important depending on the looks of it.
Hope this is helpful.
Kindly provide me with the extra information needed, and I will be happy to clarify further.

Brief Answer:
Looks like a cellulitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the follow-up.
I have gone through the picture from which it looks to be a cellulitis but a single look with at the lesion by naked eye of the doctor would confirm the diagnosis.
Here, I would like to ask you some questions regarding this rashes.
Is there any pain or itching over the lesion?
Or is that red skin is warm to touch?
As I said earlier,it could be either irritative dermatitis or bacterial infection so,steoidal cream/ointment with antiseptic topical agent will be helpful to get rid off it.
Tenovate-N is the name of that steroid with antiseptic combination cream which could be available over counter and if not then your local doctor may prescribe it.
I expect to get it better within 5 to 7 days but in case not then it would be best to seek advice from dermatologist.
