To treat this area, your doctor may recommend:
- Special corticosteroids to treat scaling. They work well, but you shouldn’t overuse them. If they get into your eyes, they can lead to glaucoma or cataracts.
- The eczema drugs pimecrolimus (Elidel), tacrolimus (Protopic), or crisaborole (Eucrisa) ointment. They don't cause the side effects of steroids. They can sting the first few days you use them, though.
