Red streaks on eyelid

Red streaks on eyelid

One time my left upper eyelid was itchy so I rubbed it, but then it developed red streaks on it. Most of the time it feels as though it is swollen and sometimes it feels hot. It still gets itchy a lot but if I rub it the streaks get worse. When I wake up it feels like my eye is only half open. There is no flaking of the skin and no crusting. What is this? I find it very embrassing. Thank you.

You may have some sort of excema or allergic skin condition. I advise you to avoid rubbing it, try to avoid things you are allergic to and see an ophthalmologist to see what is going on.  You may need to be on some allergy type medications or creams for a while possibly.
