Hello
It seems from the history that you are having seasonal allergy like eczema involving the skin of the eyelids.
Flucort is a steroid and it is used for treatment of allergic conditions affecting the skin.
You can use it and it is correct treatment. But steroids should not be used for long time as they can cause systemic side effects on prolonged local application.
Thank you
