​Looking for some advice on how to stop a recurring, flare-up under my eye.

&#x200B;

​Issue:

I feel like every time the weather drops and the cold, biting wind picks up, the thin skin right under my eye develops a bright red patch. At its worst, it feels almost like it's burnt. When it gets to that point, applying absolutely anything, even standard plain moisturizers, cause a sharp, intense sting.

​I keep a basic skincare routine, so I'm not overloading my skin with products - and I don't wear makeup or anything.

A dermatologist has prescribed Tacrolimus for it. But honestly, I'm still not entirely sure if it's working or not just yet. I use it and it's a bit calm, but when I stop it tends to come back again eventually. It was on both eyes a few years back, but now is just one. I don't know why or how the other is fine now.

​

I have no idea what is causing it. Is it the cold weather? Is it something getting into my eye? The dermatologist has no idea, and everytime I go there it's a bit calm - so they've not been able to help beyond telling me to use Tacrolimus.

​Has anyone had anything similar happen to them, and if so, what did you do to finally resolve it? Not looking for medical advice, just help with the routine. Appreciate any help - it's been years now.
