I am suffering for eczema for 30yrs+ I am 38 yrs old. Have been using topical corticosteroids fr 25+ yrs. Managing symptoms. Now I have severe itching of eyes and eye lids which can be controlled only by continous use of dexamethasone 0.1% and chloramphenical 0.5% eye drops 3 times a day. Tried fexofenadine/monteleukast and laoratadine. No effect.
