Over the past few weeks I have developed itchy, red, burning, scaly, puffy eyelids. I thought that maybe it was my make-up (which I don't often use) so I haven't put any on in several days. However, the problem seems to be getting worse. Worst of all is my upper eyelids have become wrinkly and droopy (which I imagine is due to the puffiness?).
I tried putting a thin coat of benedryl cream on them and it helped a tiny bit with the itching. I also tried a thin coat of 1% cortisone - that only made it burn more.
I know I should see a dermatologist but I live in the boonies and so I will most likey have to drive several hours to see one. In the meantime, what can I do to relieve the symptoms?
Thanks!
