allergic reaction on my eyelids?

sarahjared · September 2009

My eyelids feel dry, chapped like, and they are burning. I put Eucerin on them and that relieved some of the burning. I just can't figure out what did it. I have been using the same eye cream for months so I wouldn't think that would cause it. The only eye makeup I wear is mascara. Has anyone ever had this happen and what did you do?

Do you think maybe the eye cream went bad?

It is possible to become allergic to something you've always used. I did that with deoderant. I've used the same for years and years and I put it on one time and my underarms just started burning. I was at work so couldn't very wash my armpits. Once I got home I took a shower and I had a really red raised rash. The only think I could think of was the deoderant although I was wearing a new top and hadn't washed it first. I tired the deoderant again after about a week (took that long to clear it up) and sure enough I broke out again...and it the itching drove me nuts. I can't use that brand anymore :0(

I don't think so. It is clinique and I just bought it a few months ago.

Is it red, slightly raised with dry, flaking, chapped skin on it? It might be psoriasis. I have this(mostly on my scalp and hairline) but the first time I had an inflammation, it was on my eyelids. Try hydracortisone cream; that should help relieve the irritation and make it go away.
