Swollen eyelids
by SteveLD, Apr 20, 2008 08:58AM
I am 37 years of age and fair skinned. Last year was the first time I had a problem with sun burn followed by swollen eyes and puffy upper face. In each case I have used sun block. What this writer described in 2007 about her teenage daughter seems to be exactly what I experience. http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Dermatology/messages/30618.html
I have had no changes in medication recently. (10 mg licinipril daily and a multi-vitamin) Twenty years ago I was diagnosed with a kidney disease which was treated. With 24hr urine samples taken every few years, it continues to be a part of my past and the only reason I raise this topic is because of an article found posted by Ohio Lions Eye Research which mentions kidney disease. http://www.ohiolionseyeresearch.com/swollen_eye_lids.htm
I believe my swollen eyelids are related to sun exposure but cannot understand why these symptoms have only recently come to be.
I am considering experimenting with different types of sun block, however I feel limited exposure to the sun is most important.
I would be interested in any comments from doctors or others who have swollen eyelids, nose, brow and upper cheeks after exposure to the sun for moderate periods of time (summer intensity for 1+ hour).
