Eyes Sore And Itchy, Small Scabs Forming. Itching In Eyebrows, Face, Chin. No Relief With Hydrocortisone Cream. Cause?

For the last five weeks all round my eyes have been sore and itchy - they are cracked and small scabs keep forming. My eyebrows are itchy and I have itchiness on one side of mu face and my chin. The nurse gave me hydrocortisone cream as she said it looked a bit like eczema but it d I didn't seem to help and when I went again I was given an eye ointment which seemed to make them worse. I look awful and want to know what is causing the itching and soreness.
