Rash on my eyes...help!

[Guest guest]

Hello group...I am a new poster but an avid lurker and I am hopeful

that someone will know what is going on with my eyes!

 

Every year (for the last 3 or 4) around the change of season from

fall into winter OR winter into spring (I have a rash now), I get a

rash on my eyelids that is mostly painless but quite annoying.

 

It is most perplexing since I use the same make up all year round

and have not changed cleansing products in ages (10+ years). The

rash starts out on one eyelid and is a little scaly and pinkish and

then it sort of " spreads " to the other eye and now is underneath the

eye where it is less scaly and more discolored.

 

Does anyone know why I get this every year or what to do about it???

It always disappears as mysteriously as it arrived, so I can always

wait it out, but I'd like to get to the bottom of it!

 

Sincerely,

 

Amy

Sounds like a type of eczema? The eyelid is a common place for it to

appear. I know it sounds strange. Or could it be some kind of

contact allergy? Either way, it's good to get allergy tested. You

may want to see a (holistic, if possible) dermatologist for the

purpose of getting a proper diagnosis, since many of these conditions

can look VERY similar but treatment (even natural treatment)

strategies will be completely different, and you'll want to know what

it is so you can apply the proper treatment.

 

If it's allergies, I'm unsure what to do, I'm sure others on this list

may have some wonderful ideas. If it's eczema, let me know either on

or off list...I've been an eczema sufferer for 2 yrs this week, and

I'm FINALLY starting to narrow down its causes and get it under

control to the point where it's almost not noticeable right now

(which, if anyone remembers from this last summer, is a HUGE

improvement! I may post a Success Story about it later if I can get

it to go away even more and get it to stay away rather consistently.)

 

Keep us posted!
