i had a rash about a year ago on my eyelids. it just happened. never scratched it either, yet it would worsen on its on such that skin would flake and there would be blood when i wiped it with a tissue. moisturizers and vaseline or whatever else that keeps moisture in did not work.
so... i had to go to the doctor. he told me it was eczema and prescribed me an ointment called protopic. it comes in 0.03% and 0.05% potency. since it was my eyelids and the skin is thin, i was given the lower potency ointment. within a 3 days, the eczema was gone and no one would have guessed the skin was once a bloody mess. i haven't had it come back since then.
the ointment is a pain to keep on though. a while after application it starts to tingle and then it feels like it burns a little bit. but if you can endure bloody rashes and whatnot, im sure the burning sensation will be worth the pain for the healed skin. i usually put it on an hour before going to bed
obviously, just because the ointment worked for me doesn't mean it will for you, but its definitely worth the try. a few of my friends have tried it as well and it seemed to work for them.
