Swollen and puffy eyelids in the morning and then get flaky, red and sore during the day...

Thank you so much for this information! I was thinking I could have wrote this post, but I did not know what was causing the problem.
I am so glad there are people like you who decide to post what is going on health wise in their lives.
Thank You Again.

But cortisone will damage your eyelid skin by severely thinning the skin. Then you get droopy, baggy eyelids.

I had the same red, flakey, puffy, itchy symptoms for about a month. I tried the hydrocortisone cream & it really worked! It stung at first, but after a few days they're almost entirely better! Thanks for the advice!

Im suffering from the same condition off and on over the past year! I have seen a couple dermatologist, eyelid specialist and both just assume it is Blepartis? At the same time I have developed Seborehea Dermatitis on my face around side of nose, chin area and both seem related. I have tried Blepartis wipes a doctor told me to buy on line, specialized eye cleansers, avoid all eye make-up. My eyelids are red, burn, swollen, flaking some days. Is there a relationship with osteoarthritis? I have a history of food allergies and other items.

You may not believe this, but I had the same problem and was so discouraged I came close to a nervous breakdown. I had to go on antidepressants! I went to several doctors, dermatologists, allergists. I am a teacher and the kids at school were even telling me I looked like I should go on the show The Walking Dead! My family doctor was the one who diagnosed me when I went for depression help. She diagnosed me with dermatitis. I still do not know what the cause of the problem was. YOU MUST TRULY NOT PUT ANYTHING on the affected skin but water and cortisone until it is completely healed. She promised me it would work if I was truly not put on any make-up or lotion. I stopped all make-up and got Maximum Strength Cortizone 10 Ultra Moisturizing. I tried regular cortizone first, but it dried my skin out and was not getting better because of the dryness. Put a pea sized amount in your palm with a few drops of water and mix up. I patted this on the areas. After three days I could see improvement. I started putting on mascara and it started to come back. I stopped make-up again and after two weeks of NOTHING but the Cortizone and water, I was good. I am wearing make-up again, and all is well. If I start to feel the slightest burn I put Cortizone and water on. I also put vaseline on my eyelids and under them now at night. What cost me hundreds of dollars in doctor bills can cost you $4 and some time. The time is the key. You must truly not put any lotions etc. and only wash with water. Do not even get shampoo on your skin. It worked for me after suffering for six months and being so depressed over it I had to take medicine. I hope it works for you. If it does, please let me know.
