Dry flaking eyelids

[wsmith]

Hi everyone and Happy New Year. I use Hyloforte 2mg from my dry eyes which has been working very well for me but I've recently been having some trouble with dry and flaking skin on my eyelids. I've tried many things, different eye cremes, oils even olive oil, some hyrocortizone to see if it was a dermatitis and even tried zinc ointment but haven't nailed a solution as yet. Anyone else have this issue and can share what has worked for you?

I had this once. Used warm water on a cloth for a minute or two. Then very gentle rubbing to remove the loose skin.

Thank you I'll try that.

I get that too from time to time. I just use a really thick emollient creme (eg Silcock's base) twice a day and it clears up.

Thank you, I'll go and get some of that and try it. Fingers crossed it works for me too.
