Hello. Thank you for writing to us I can judge that you have dermatitis i.e inflammation of skin around eye. It is red, dry, and wrinkled. I suggest a possibility of either contact dermatitis Or seborrheic dermatitis. Skin around eyes is delicate and can easily get irritated to cosmetics like antiageing creams, exfoliating creams etc that one may be using. Eyelid & under eye skin is also a common site for allergic contact dermatitis to cosmetics and products that one may be using on face. Soaps and harsh dry weather also play a part in inducing inflammation at this delicate site. Another common cause of eyelid and under eye skin inflammation is seborrheic dermatitis which presents as red, dry, scaly patches. All of these possible conditions are steroid responsive as also evidenced by some relief from usage of cortisone cream. However cortisone is very mild it may not be able to resolve it completely. If I was the treating doctor I would suggest you to use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily for a week. That should be sufficient. However topical fluticasone propionate is a prescription steroid. I suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your vicinity for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as for the needful. Avoid soaps and all cosmetics that you may be using on face. Use a gentle cleanser e.g cetaphil cleansing lotion twice daily. Regards
