Hi.... Many thanks for consulting in Health Care Magic. It is eczema... Steroid cream is ok for very severe cases...but only on cheeks.. I don't think its necessary. Darkish areas around eyes could be the same phenomenon. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Health Care Magic are welcome.
