Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

You seem to have developed irritant dermatitis to one of the creams that you have been using in this area. The skin around the eyes is delicate and is very prone to develop allergy Or irritation to topical products.

I would suggest that you apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate cream, twice daily over the area of concern for a week and discontinue with everything else.

Thereafter you may use a a cream called EGA (contains retinol), for undereye darkness, fine lines and wrinkles. Use this cream once every alternate days, initially and then switch over to daily use once your skin gets adjusted to it.

Use a broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day.

Regards
