eye rash and itch

rash on eyelid and lash and itcy

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
It can be due to allergic reaction to the cosmetics, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis or eczema. Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky,dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp under the nose or anywhere on face. People with seborrheic dermatitis produce too much sebum (the natural skin oil). Later, pityrosporum yeast grows excessively in the sebum, sometime along with bacteria, making the dermatitis more persistent.

Take some oral antihistaminic and avoid using any eye cosmetics. If the symptoms persist then please get it evaluated for seborrheic dermatitis and the medical conditions mentioned above.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted on how you are doing.
