Best Answer

I had flaking dry skin on my eyelids. Daktarin helped the dryness but did not cure it.

The doctor prescribed clotrimazole and hydrocortisone cream twice a day for 7 days.

It was scary stuff and I was very careful to not use too much at a time, it did irritate the eyes if I put on too much.

That said, the reason I'm posting is after eight months of problems, two months with Daktarin, this cream dealt with the issue completely in a week and I am very happy.
