Sore, puffy, dry, red eyelids... Help needed, as my pharmascist is the definition of useless!

Apologiies in advance for this crazily long post- perhaps if I had forced my pharmacist to read all of this, he might have actually been helpful.....


For the last few weeks I have been suffering from incredibly sensitive eyes/eyelids which are red, dry and sore, similar to sunburn. I initially thought it was because of some cheap make-up remover wipes that I used to take off my mascara. Although I had been using them for a while, they soon started to sting and burn the area around my eyes whenever I used them. The use of any eye make-up other than mascara would result in a stinging sensation, which varied in terms of severity. Moisturiser and even baby-lotion would burn my skin. Since then however, I have been using some Garnier make-up wipes, made for sensitive skin and the problem seemed to get a bit better, although eyeshadow was still strictly off-limits. But then, last Sunday, my eyes had gone back to their previous state, of being very red and sore. I hadn't worn any make-up or used any products on or near my eyes at all on Sunday, so I'm confused as to what caused it to return.

On Monday and Tuesday, several people commented on the state of my eyes, especially the right one, which seemed to be in a worse condition. My eyelids were dry and painful to touch, especially in the corner and it was continuously weeping, until yesterday afternoon when it seemed to heal up to the point where it looked sore, but no longer felt it.

And then today- my awful eyes are worse than ever. While my actual eyes are fine, my eyelids are large,  puffy and as per usual- RED. My left one was expectionally bad, where it was almost hard to keep open. Since the day has gone on, they've somewhat improved, although they remain puffy and red.

One more thing- it may or may not be related but yesterday morning I woke up with a dry, red, sore patch of skin around the left corner of my mouth. When covered up with makeup, it's not so bad, but still notciable and sometimes itchy. I put on some E45 cream today, as I thought this would help, but I think it made it worse as it started stinging and burning almost immediatley. I never had this before, only since the problem has returned to my eyelids. Related, perhaps?

What is going on with my evil, crazy eyes?! I look awful, as I'm very pale and the contrast between my pale face with the random red patch near my mouth and my dry, puffy eyelids makes me resemble something out of a horror film... :( Any ideas of what the problem could be or how to fix it? Or has anyone else suffered similar symptoms? All help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Alex.

I could just say “Ditto” to ALL these responses! This eye situation has been with me for about 10 years. It dramatically changed my quality of life. For 3 of those years I was under the care of eye doctors, allergist doctors, Dermatologists, and could eventually use only water on my face and eyes. All products, even nail polish,  were taken away. I have pictures to show how grotesque I looked and felt. I begged God for help. I often wondered about our community’s water purification. Around the time my eye issues started, our Community had started a new Chemical treatment for our drinking water. I still wonder if a wide-spread new chemical that was introduced to many community’s water purification systems, was an agent that could cause this wide-spread eye issue. I would appreciate anyone who could delve into this research and find out! I am elderly and less able to initiate a project like that. Someone, PLEASE allow something to ignite in you to check on the Community Water Purification thought/question theory! Thank you! God has the answer and can lead us to finding it! ❣️

That is a inaccurate generalization. People with mild blepharitis might use baby shampoo once/week to control but many people have to clean lid several times/day using special cleaners like Ocusoft Platinum Plus cleaner, use warm compresses, take prescription medication like azasite or erythromycin of bacitracin ointment at bed time or even oral tetracycline.

I believe you all may have BLEPHARTIS.  Google it and go see an eye doctor who diagnosed me.  This is what my doctor told me to do:  I would recommend for now to avoid harsh soaps on your face and eyelids, as well as makeup that can cause allergy.  Try to clean your eyelids with the following formulation that is the treatment for blepharitis.   Wash hands, place hot/warm water compresses over your closed eyes for 5 minutes (better after a shower), then gently scrub the skin around your upper and lower eyelashes with your fingertip using Ocusoft (or similar) foam (over the counter from any drug store). Then wash with warm water. Do this cleaning twice daily for the first 3 months, and once daily thereafter.  You can buy Ocusoft in Target, Walmart or your local drug store.  It works!  Try it.

I am 22 and I have the same thing, my right eye has been red, swollen and itchy for the past couple months. My aunt had this also and said she used olive oil on it everyday and it went away after a couple months. I started to use it and definitely recommend it. Although it hasn't cured me yet, it has made my eyes not as red. My eyes don't itch and aren't as swollen. I don't even have the dry flakes but you can still see its a little puffy as well as dry. It also spread a little to my neck, and I started using olive oil on it as well and I really hope it helps. My eyes became red and itchy after I rubbed a little too hard with the makeup remover wipe and I haven't used eye makeup since.  I dip a q-tip into a little container that I put olive oil into and I put it on my eye every morning and night. So far it seems to be helping, I've only been doing it for a month. My eye definitely looks better, I just hope it makes everything go away.

There is hope!!! My symptoms had gotten so severe on my left eye that I was near desperate and ready to try an Allergy Dr.   But, I decided to make one more attempt and Google my symptoms when I found this forum!  I scrolled and read then scrolled and read many many more of your comments . . . I decided to try one suggestion, using VASELINE CREAM (not the petroleum jelly) along with HYDROCORTISONE 1% CREAM. Mixing these two items 50 / 50 (and it only takes a tiny squeeze of each) - blend together with finger. Apply to eyelid. After my first use, there was improvement!!! There was a brief stinging when first put on my eyelid but, by the third application, no more sting. Soothing relief!!!!! After three days, using both morning / night, my eyelid looks great!  No more swelling, droopy eyelid! No more red, raw, blistered, flaky eyelid!  One other thing I learned, in reading, was that memory foam pillows can also be a contributing factor with the common symptoms which we all seem to share.  One post stated that a memory foam pillow can hold apprx. 61% more allergens/bacteria than a regular bed pillow. I am also tossing my memory foam pillow!    I sincerely hope you find this helpful and wish others the wonderful relief and healing I have found!

SOLUTION!!! WATER WATER WATER!!!!!!
I've had this a few times and I believed it to be from moisturizer that is too harsh. However this time it moved into my cheek which indicates a fungus ... Why did it spread ? Whatever it is...it's painful and the ONLY way to get rid of it is ... LEAVE IT ALONE !!!
No creams, vinegar, make up.... NOTHING!!!
Rinse face with water only! Do not FEED it! After a few days  it will dry out .
Everything I tried on it made it worse even aquaphor .... Make up... You're skin may feel dry but just stick with it.
So do what I say and it will go within  a few days. If it looks wrinkly this just part of the process ... Be patient !

I believe I may have figured out what is going on here, and why my red/puffy/itchy eyes would never fully heal.  I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FUNGAL INFECTION OF THE SINUSES, WHICH EVENTUALLY MOVES IN ON THE EYE AREA.  This is why if you are just treating your eyes, you might not be able to get rid of it.  

The way to get rid of the fungal infection of the sinuses is to do nasal irrigation.  You can Google "nasal irrigation" to find out how to do this.  Basically, you get a neti-pot (e.g., online, or at natural food stores), and mix 1/2 tsp salt thoroughly in 1 cup of purified water (e.g., used distilled water, or boil and cool-til-room-temp tap water).  Then tilt your head and pour the salt water in one nostril.  The water will travel through your sinuses and come out the other nostril.  Look for a video online to show you how to do this.  

You should also use the neti-pot with the same salt water solution to flush your eyes.  This salt water should travel through the tear ducts and into the sinuses, thus flushing out the tear ducts.  Flush both eyes and nose twice a day, with one cup of water for each nostril and one cup for each eye.

If you are brave, you can add a few drops of apple cider vinegar to your salt water for both the nasal irrigation and eye flushing.  This will sting, but I think it cleans things up more quickly than salt water alone.

If you have had this for a long time, and have gone to many doctors, and you believe it is a fungal infection, you may have a "fungal ball" of the sinuses.  In this case an ENT (ear nose throat) doctor can image your sinuses and tell you for sure.  If you do have one, they can basically vacuum it out.  Some pretty cool videos of this online.  

Fungus seems to live pretty well in the sinuses.  It's nice and dark in there, and especially if you live in an environment where there is mold, you may be breathing this in and helping the fungus in your sinuses to grow.  

Just one more note.  A number of people here have mentioned that the corners of their mouth are red.  In this case the fungus that causes this probably lives on the tongue.  To get rid of this, scrape your tongue twice a day.  Get a tongue scraper (with the toothbrushes at drug stores).  Put salt all over the tongue, as far back as you can without gagging.  Let sit for 5 minutes or so.  Take the brush part of the tongue scraper and brush the tongue.  Take the scraper part of the scraper and scrape the yucky stuff off the tongue.  Do this until the tongue looks very pink- i.e., if there is a white or yellow film, you want to get all of this off.  

Once you get the fungus out of your mouth/sinuses/tear ducts by the above methods, it is much easier to treat the skin and I think you will find it responding rather quickly to the antifungal creams, etc. that may have partially worked for you before.

I know this thread is old, but I've gotten a lot of help here and wanted to post what I've learned.  First of all, for red, inflamed eyelids, I used Sudocrem-- you can get it on Amazon.  Like a diaper creme, but it's amazing for pretty much any skin problems.  I put it on at home and let it sit on the skin for hours- as long as possible.  I also had puffy tear ducts, and for that I used salt water rinses.  I used my neti pot (STERILIZE FIRST!), made up a solution of 1 tsp sea salt in 1 c of water, and flushed my eyes with this in the shower.  

I believe that my infection is fungal-- is it red, itchy, and burning?  It might be a fungus.  Fungus loves a warm, wet, dark (dark=no sunlight, artificial light doesn't count) environment.  NEVER GIVE IT ALL THREE.  I believe this condition occurs when the epidermis of sensitive skin is compromised due to an allergy or irritant.  Then a fungus can make itself at home in these breaks in the skin.  Once it's there, it's hard to get it to move out.  Here are my Ten Commandments for dealing with a fungus:

1)  Thou shalt use paper towels to dry thy hands and thy face.  Fungus loves the wet, warm environment of a towel in a bathroom.  Also, wash bath towels after every use in hot water, dry until hot and bone dry.

2)  Thou shalt not hide thy face from the sun.  Sunlight kills fungus.  Thou shalt bathe thy living space in natural light, especially the bedroom and bathroom.

3)  Thou shalt avoideth heavy creams and keep thy eyes dry at night.  Fungus loves a moist environment.  No Vaseline or Aquaphor ever for fungus!  It will spread like wildfire before your eyes.

4)  Thou shalt minimize the intake of alcohol, sugar, and carbohydrates.  These feed the fungus.  Eat lots of vegetables and protein.  If you have been suffering from this rash for years, please Google, "candidiasis".  There is hope and you can recover.

5)  Thou shalt not use harsh chemicals around thy eyes.  Getting rid of this condition is a delicate balancing act of building up the epidermis of the skin and killing the fungus.  Be very careful that what you use to kill the fungus does not unnecessarily degrade the epidermis.

6)  Thou shalt not use eye makeup until the infection recedes.  This can further irritate the delicate skin around the eye.  Be especially careful about anything with sunscreen, or anything with a sparkle to it, even a subtle one.  

7)  Thou shalt throw away old eye makeup.  This can have fungus in it and you can re-infect your eyes.  When you start to use makeup again, get makeup for sensitive skin and use disposable applicators (i.e., qtips, disposable mascara wands, etc.) to apply.

8)  Thou shalt not use a warm washcloth on eyes.  Fungus loves this warm, wet environment and will multiply like mad.  I was doing this based on advice I had read online...it might work for a bacterial infection, but it made my fungal rash firey and red.

9)  Thou shalt not exercise or otherwise sweat indoors or in the dark.  Fungus loves this wet, warm environment.  

10)  Thou shalt keep a diary of treatments to help recognize patterns, and thou shalt continue those treatments that are successful after the infection clears.  Just to make sure it doesn't come back.  

A big thanks to all other posters here, much of this advice helped me tremendously and, of course, it was comforting to know that I wasn't the only one out there with puffy red eyes.

5 Days later and my eyelid is completely back to normal. I ordered the Zymox cream and will continue to use it for at least a couple of more days.  The wrinkle are all gone and I going to try and wear some make up today.  Just one other thing, I used a product called CapriClear(Coconut Oil) after a couple of days, it help to moisturize my eyes and get rid of the scaling.  I think Aquaphor would do the same.  Very happy with the results.

I looked up the Mario Badescu Control Cream, they took the original product off the market because they did not list steroids in the ingredients, now you know why it was so good.  But anyway, I have the same problem as the rest of you and have narrow it down to a fungal infections.  I thought I would share how I have controlled it.  I started off using Monistat 7, yes the product for women's yeast infection, I used a thin layer 2x a day (yes on my eyelid) for a view days and then 1x a day for an additional 5 days, because we all know it takes a good 7 days to clear up a yeast infection even though you fill a lot better in a couple of days. It did completely clear up, but a couple weeks later it came back, full force.  Then it hit me, I was cleaning out my dog's ears who has chronic yeasty ears until I tried a product called Zymox. It's a natural enzymatic Solution that destroy's yeast.  On my 3rd day and the infection is 90% gone. It also contains 1% Hydrocortisone so it stops the irritation and itching.  One of the ingredients is a emzymes found in natural tears to combat infections.  They also make a shampoo, ear cleanser, and cream.  I just ordered the cream. My dog has been free of ear infections for a year now, just read the reviews on the product on Amazon. I was spending $60-100 on antifungal products for her and then came across this procduct for around $12.  Dog ears have a very thin layer of skin, so I can't imagine why you could not use this product on your eyelid making sure you don't get it in your eyes.  I will keep you posted on my progress with treating the condition.

I have the problem right now with just one eye being red all around and puffy with a more red spot of puffiness just under the eye about 1/2 down. I did cry for days so thinking it might have something to do with that.. not sure. Help? The other thing I wanted to say is I had the scaly red swollen thing with both eyes for years and it was always around Christmas time and lasted for months. Went to 3 skin doctors, had allergy tests done, no answers. I started thinking about allergies and what do I do that time of year? For one, I get out my wool but I get it out 2-3 months before Christmas. It does make me itch but thought that's what happens with everyone, no big deal. So, I stopped wearing it that year, didn't even touch anything and I didn't have it. Same thing next year, problem solved. Asked my skin doctor and he said but we tested you for that? I said, well, I guess the test didn't work, right? Never had that problem again and I don't wear wool at all. It takes time for your resistance to really YELL at you, so it took a couple of months for it to build up and then go crazy on me, especially when I don't wear it any other time of year. So hope this helps someone! It was horrible for me to go through the holidays like that EVERY year!! Had to wear sunglasses indoors. That's fun at parties!

I realise it's two years since you posted your message, but I have exactly the same problem (including cracked and weeping ears!). After you mentioned the ingredients in shampoos, I thought the culprit was a new one I'd recently been using (and could still be), but I just wondered if you have a memory foam pillow, as this has been suggested as a possible cause, and mine is over 8 years old. I have also ordered some "Mario Badescu Control Creme", and I'm hoping that will sort out the skin problem.

I'm 15 and have always had seasonal allergies as well as to cats, dust, and a few other things. The inside of my eyes itched for years but when i was younger either the antihistamine eyedrops worked or my allergies werent severe enough to bother me. Last year my allergies got much worse, no eyedrops or medicine would stop the itching. I went to the doctor who prescribed steroid eyedrops. the bottle says Pred Mild but idk the official name. these didnt work and i was worried about the side affects. my eyes itched, but nothing else happened so i just waited for the season to end and it was fine by september/october ish. this year my allergies got even worse. one day i went to bed with itchy eyes, as usual, and woke up the next morning with extremely swollen, sore, dry/flaking, and red eyelids. I went to the doctor and i told him i thought it was allergies. he agreed and prescribed a $350 eczema cream which we didnt get and some steroid pills that i was reluctant to try because when my dad used them, they deprived him of sleep. he literally could not sleep all night. This medicine was for the swelling, which went down alot by the next morning so i decided not to get those pills either. i did get some allergy eyedrops for the itch inside my eyes but those didnt work. My eyes would puff up like this whenever i would rub my eyes before bed. Not only were they puffy but really red and after the swelling went down the redness stayed. i have to go to school and it's seriously bright red so i had no chouce but to wear concealer (which ive worn for years and am not allergic to) and the redness is still here as well as really itchy eyelids. Aquaphor (a petroleum jelly cream) helps with the dryness. i try to resist itching them but i let myslef lightly itch them sometimes which probably prolongs the redness. I am going to try switching my shampoos and see what happens. hopefully my parents will agree to take me to get a proper allergy tests and hopefully the allergy shots (which are the only possible cure)

Hello,

I have recently just discovered what has finally worked for me, for the past 6 months i have suffered swollen, itchy, dry and sore eyelids, and i tried going to the doctor who told me it was a form of Eczema and perscribed me an emollient that didn't work, and not only did it not work it made my eyelids worse!!

Than i decided to go to the health store and buy a whole heap of products that didn't have harsh ingredients in them only natural oils and perfume free, this helped a little and it got better but it did not get rid of it, at least i could go out without bright red eyelids at least.

Then for some reason i thought one day i'd just try putting Vaseline on at night. I did this after putting cold teabags on my eyes for half an hour then layering on thick Vaseline. OMG i'd found my cure, just simple everyday Vaseline did it, mind you it's best to use it at night because you have to layer it on real thick, and it took about three days for my eyelids to look like they were back to normal. Amazing! My mum has always told me Vaseline is an amazing product that has so many uses and is a product that no one seems to embrace!

Try it for a week on your eyelids and you will see the difference.

Good Luck.

I Emailed Mario Badescu as I have been ordering control cream for 3 years. They have not d/c it but they are 'reformulating' it. It's the only thing that's seemed to help my eyes and behind my ears. After reading this forum I am going to try tinactin. It makes sense it is candida related.

Just wanted to add my experience with this.  I am a 43 year old man who up to this past year did not have any skin issues besides the occasional zit or blind pimple - honestly the only "product" I put on my face on occasion is Stridex (yup even at 43) as needed .  About 7-8 months ago I started to get bright redness around my eyes (eyelids, above eyelids, under eyes) - kinda looked like Alice Cooper :-)  Over time I it started to get very dry and scaly as well (never had pain or itch however).  I eventually saw my doctor about it who prescribed me a cortisone cream which worked for a little bit, but I was concerned about cortisone near the eyes.  I eventually saw a dermatologist who prescribed me something called Elidel (non-steroid replacement for the cortisone stuff).  It worked well till I stopped using it and the redness and dryness came back.  My dermatologist as well as my wife suggested to use a moisturizer (Cerave) to work against the dryness. Crazy thing was that I think I must be allergic to something in it because using Cerave alone my eyelids swelled - looked like I got punched in both eyes.  I stopped that stuff and the swelling went away, but the bright red around my eyes and dryness persisted.  Frustrated I searched the web and found this forum.  I read through all 260+ messages, and picked up on the fact that people were having good luck with the Mario Badescu control cream.  Figured I'd give it a try - got a sample at Ulta (very cool they do samples) and you know what - the stuff worked.  Redness and dryness went away. Right now I'm using a tiny bit in the morning and at night and so far so good.  My intent is to wean myself off it completely and see what happens, but I am impressed that it actually worked (my wife is amazed as well). Plus even though $30 an ounce isn't cheap, it's a lot cheaper than the Elidel ($80 per tube after insurance) and doesn't have the crazy side effects that cortisone and Elidel can potentially have. I know that Basalm of Peru in the Mario Badescu stuff is actually an allergen to a lot of people - the Paula's Choice makeup website my wife showed me thinks poorly of it. But ya know, it works for me.  Different people react differently to things (for instance, so far I don't get reactions from poison ivy :-).  But am happy to have run across this forum and suggestions.  I can only imagine the folks who've dealt with this for a long time and have empathy for them. Anyways hope the best for everyone having this issue, and will drop another note in a few months and see whether I can wean myself off this stuff totally as well (or whether I have a Q-tip disaster at some point in putting this stuff around my eyes :-)

Actually I had experiencing the same problem right now but never give up searching proper cream even my husband told me that I'm wasting my money! Even antihistamine prescribed by the doctor not enough to relieve my face allergy around my face, eyes and neck! And I'm so upset about it! But never give up! Sometimes oatmeal with water and a spoon of aloe Vera helps  for cleansing but still on and off itchy and sensitive face with all moisturizer cream. Then I never remembered that I used prednisone tablet before when I had sun allergy ! Then a client told me about it then I went to medicenter I asked for it. Just for a day or two days my redness slowly healing and sensitivity of my skin lesser and I saw one cream helps me a lot " aloe Vera skin gel" that I'm using at night and prevex 200+ cream day time for skin protection against food, cosmetic and weather condition. Plus I went for blood testing and allergy testing . Hope this will help you guys .

I'm not sure if this thread is still active but I thought I'd share a few observations from the posts.

I too have all the same symptoms listed in each post. I believed the cause of my reaction was allergy related. A reaction to either a moisturiser with a high SPF in it or pets. Ilater decided that it was multiple things - reaction to a new product, weakend immune system making me susceptible to allergens and possibly a fungal infection, caused also by lowered immune system and poor diet at the time (love my chocolate and dairy products!)

I think that dealing with these symptoms has to be an accumalitive approach - in other words, you may never know the fundamental reason for your flare up so treat for everything. I now have a flare up kit which contains a bottle of tea tree oil, athletes foot ointment, candida oral medication, vaseline and anti-histamines.

I haven't been able to definitely say what the problem is but I have identified some common factors - it flares up when I am extremely tired for a prolonged period of time, stressed, and when my diet has been high in sugar. I honestly think that these factors cause my immune system to weaken resulting in me being hyper-sensitve to allergens and infection. Added to the high sugar intake, infections like Candida are pretty likely. It is bad luck that I used a strong moisturiser I happened to be allergic to at a time when I had other issues underlying which had yet to come to the fore. When you look at the equation -

tired + poor diet x weak immune system + allergens = infection (candida/fungal). The irritation can also result in dermititis which would explain the patches of dry skin in other areas.

In all of these cases posted I would have first and foremost ceased using any new products that could have caused a reaction, taken anti-histamines to combat the build up of histamine in your system, apply an anti-fungal cream or tea tree oil to the area, address life style issues such as sleep pattern and diet - do these simultaneously. If after 2 weeks none of these things bring about an improvement then I would suspect that it's a stimuli induced reaction and you will need to figure out what the stimuli is.

The good thing about anti-fungal treatment for athlete's foot is that it kills any infection whilst simultaneously moisturising the area. Most eye damage is a result of drying and parching the area, but you also have to be careful not give any infection a nice, moist home to thrive in. So, athletes foot treatment is a good multi-purpose treatment to start with.

Hope that everyone is doing better as many of these posts are quite old.
