[quote=Anonymous]Lifelong eczemaic here. As PPs mentioned, stop OTC hydrocortisone NOW. I have been told to never use hydrocortisone on the face, ever. It thins the skin. I have premature crepe-y and mottled skin on the bends of my arms where my parents would apply then-prescription hydrocortisone cream like clown makeup. And, consider allergy testing. Wish my parents would have; my eczema would flare in cold winter months (grew up in Midwest!) on my lips, under my chin. Learned in my 30s that I was very sensitive to wheat and dairy and tomatoes. I suggest Vaseline or Eucerin to keep the area hydrated. Even dabs of plain mineral oil at night. Find the simplest, non irritating moisturizer and stick with it and make it part of a 3x day routine. I can't use Cetaphil, even though every dermatologist I've ever had (and I've had many) immediately recs this. Cetaphil burns and irritates my skin. I use only dove soap to wash.[/quote]
