Ridiculous itchy eyelid

[EazyDuz]

Has anyone had this before? Ive had it on and off for 3ish years, but recently its been really bad. Only in my left eye, the lid is usually swollen and itchy, it can be really painful.
Doc/optician thinks its an allergy, ive so far cut out aftershave, shower gel, changed shampoo, use minimal if any spray deodorant, but it still remains...left eye only.

The only things i can cut out now are smoking, and caffeine. But could either of these cause such an issue? Anyone had this before? Im taking allergy eye drops and allergy nasal spray too...

Stop taking allergy crap. They can do more harm than good if you use them all the time.

Put some e45 or other moisturising cream on your eyelids before you go to bed.

Repeat for a week. See what happens.

The worst that will happen is they still itch but they will be really nice and smooth.

try taking a cottonbud with a small amount of warm water/ baby shampoo mix and clean the area.

Is it eczema? I get it on both my eyelids, but more so on the right (I think I rub my right eye more maybe because I'm right handed).

Have you been patch tested? It could be something you're putting on your eye, not what you're eating.

It's Shingles.

Optrex is a pain to use but soothes any inflammation of the lids.
You can get it as drops which is far easier to use.

You have a very rare and deadly disease. I have the cure, all you have to do is send me £100 either by paypal or cheque and i will send you the very complicated and advanced medical treatment.

I had a similar problem ages ago, turned out my tear ducts were blocked.
Requires minor surgery, (in and out in half an hour), to rectify the problem.
