dry red sore itchy bumpy under eye skin

[jezabella]

Last year I suddenly developed dry skin on the left eyelid and was prescibed hydrocortisone.  Unfortunately it spreaded to the right eyelid the to the bottom of both eyes.  The hydrocrtisone did not work, instead peeled away a little skin.  I continued wearing make up (mac) as my dark circles are very bad.
I went to see an optician who thought it was bletharitis, but I don't think it was.  And I had an allergy test (machine tested me on 3000 products).  I was told that I was allergic to lanolin (sheep wool fat),dust, basil and squid.  I was also told that my boots sensitive mascara did not agree with me.  I am not aware of ever having used lanolin.  I stopped wearing eye make up and only used vaseline around the eyes.
Approx. 2 months later it suddenly vanished, not sure how?  I had put up with the problem for 11 months, gradually becoming worse.
And now after 2 months of it having gone away, it has returned again. This time it happened much quicker, starting on the right lower eye, then moved to the left.  The right under eye is very red, sore and dry.  It feels so rough to touch.  I have not worn make up today and have only applied vaseline and aqeous cream.

I haven't changed any toileteries or make up in the last 2 months.  I am not sure what it could be?  I don't think it is eczema, but believe it could be an allergic reaction to something.  I can't seem to work out what it could be?  Could it be an allergic reaction to something i am using around the eye or a food product?  Please help me.

Thanks

Hi, everyone.  I've had the same eye problems you all have been having.  Mine has been off and on for the past 4 months.  After reading the posts about manuka honey, I went out to Whole Foods earlier today and will try that tonight.  Thanks so much for this forum and to see I'm not the only one who has this problem.

as a person that's suffers from eczema for last 10 years, I'm happy to share a product that's worked wonders for me! for the last few months (been using it religiously for 2 months)  I have been using this cream called Dermikelp and it helps with the dry, itchy skin but also takes the redness away :) nice thing about this product it has no cortizone so there is no nasty side effects, hope this will help others like it has helped me

Hi all, I really feel for all of you. I have had a similar problem for most of 2 years now. From looking perfectly healthy to suddenly waking up this problem around my eyes. Dark, itchy and wrinkly. over the next couple of weeks I looked 10 years older. People around me asked if I was ok or if I had some kind of disease, or why I looked so tired. I have always been a social drinker & smoker. After a few drinks the problem seemed to get worse. Everytime I had whiskey, or wine the next morning was a nightmare. Waking up to see my face in the mirror was catastrophic. I have been to see 5 specialists, from conventional doctors to homeopaths. Most of them mentioned that I had kidney issues, linked to my liver, hence the result after drinking alcohol. But I was not satisfied with their findings. I was told to see what is called a "bodyologist". They run test on your system through a computer which then spits out a list of how your system and organs are doing...

Well, in a nutshell what was found was that I had an excessive amount of "mould" in my system. Yes mould!!  A couple of years ago, we had a flood in our bedroom whereby the floors got wet and damaged, which was when mould started growing under the floor boards. This is extremely toxic and the level of mould in my body was very high. This explained why whenever I had alcohol my eyes became puffy, red, dark, wrinkly & itchy. Alcohol contains mould as it is all fermented to a degree.

I have been on a pro-biotic for 2 months now, and my eyes have cleared completely.  This is a kind of detox which clears my system of all the toxins caused by the mould. I am just back form holiday and I have had a huge amount of alcohol with no effect whatsoever.

I can safely say that I am cured of this dreaded problem, and sincerely hope that this will help anyone of you, as I know what you are going through.

Incidently, I am  a 47 year old male, living in South Africa.

Cheers
