puffy lids

Christmas morning I woke up to puffy, swollen eye lids. Went to the doctor and  told me take benedryl and  hydrocordizone 1% for itching on lids. It took 3 days for swelling to go down and finally Sunday the dryness on lids went away. And now today I wake up to puffy lids again. I thought about all I ate on 24 hours, and nothing unsual nothing different... please help....

did you also check all of the things like cosmetics, face washes, etc.....
or it could just be hormonal if not dust mites.

Just because you arent normally allergic to something doesnt mean you never will be. One year ago I was health with no allergies and then one day later I am now allergic to over 50 things! I am 25!

Did you take any meds like IBprofin? that is a normal side effect. It could just be dust though.

I know the puff lid thing *****. It takes me 3 days to get back to normal also.Just think what did you consome on both of the days where you eye got puffy.

You may now be allergic to milk, wheat, tomatoes, soy.... those are the big ones

Have you previously had any allergy symptoms? Or is it just the puffy, swollen lids that are a new symptom?

My first thought was a dust mite allergy, but other symptoms would've probably appeared before now (sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose when you do housework, sweep, dust, etc.).  I have a severe dust and dustmite allergy and had problems with allergies during the night until I got pillow and mattress covers.

My other thought was if you'd recently switched to new makeup, shampoo, or other items on your face?
