Condition analysis:
Well, generally speaking, you should know that when you get eczema around your eyes, it can causes red, itchy and inflamed patches, and then it may swell. In common, eye infection can be the most common cause of eczema. And according to some researches, when eczema occurs on the eyelids or the area around the eyes, you should avoid rubbing and scratching which can lead to potentially serious infections. To treat it, you can use cool compresses to your eye area to relieve discomfort and itching, and also it can reduce swelling. Also, you may need to go and have a testing.

Instructions:
Soak the Oats: When everything else is failing you and managing your eczema is getting so complicated your head spins, go back to the basics. A plain old oatmeal bath (rarely) hurts anyone, and it noticeably moisturizes and soothes the skin. Chemical constituents in oatmeal have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help relieve discomfort brought on by inflammation associated with eczema. It also seems to work a treat when it comes to reducing itchiness.

You will need…
-Roughly 1 cup of oatmeal
-Cheesecloth, muslin, or something similar
-A bathtub

Directions
Pour the oatmeal into some cheesecloth or muslin and tie it off securely into a little bundle. Tie an extra-long piece of material around the top. Fill the tub part way and then use the extra piece to hang the bag right below the faucet. Run the bath until it’s full and the water is milky and smooth. Soak for 10-15 minutes before getting out, patting gently dry with a lean towel, and applying your usual moisturizer. Feel free to just let the bag float in the water after the tub is filled-you can give it a squeeze now and then to get even more of the good stuff out.
