Atopic Eczema on the Eyelids

Atopic eczema on the eyelids. Atopic eczema in adolescents and adults is often manifested locally on the eyelids. Seasonal variations in symptoms and additional symptoms and findings in the rest of the skin confirm the diagnosis. Use of cosmetics tends to add the irritation. Occasionally, an underlying contact allergy may also be found.
