Need Medication For Chapped Skin Under The Eye

just allergies?
I have had what I thought was chapped skin under my eyes, starting about 4-5 days ago. It felt as if the skin was dry & had 'cracked' along a wrinkle, but I really only noticed it after washing my face & putting face lotion on because it made it sting, but thinking keeping it moisturized would help. It did sting, though, so I patted a small amount of neosporin on them, keeping away from my eyes. I did this again the next night after washing my face, & woke up yesterday with the area around my eyes swollen. I put nothing on my face at all for the day yesterday, & last night, as well. The swelling is still there, but much better. My eyes are itchy, & the skin around them is pufffy, tight, & feels dry like it's still chapped.
Any advice on what I can use to help with the dry feeling of the skin, while getting the swelling to go away?
thank you!

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having dry chapped and wrinkled skin of the eyelids.
These symptoms are seen in dermatitis of skin of eye lids because of eczema or because of blepharitis.
The treatment of the condition is by lid scrubs, use of anti allergic and antibiotic drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
