It is only itchy and sometimes sore when the welts are moving into a new area.
The previous area returns to normal straight away except the eyes themselves remain sore for awhile.
There is no known thyroid disorder.
At the moment I am not able to send photo but the areas come up as welts and when under the eyes they are saggy bags full of liquid.
Brief Answer:
acute urticaria
Detailed Answer:
Hello
You are probably suffering from acute urticaria with angioedema.
It is an allergic condition characterized by development of itchy welts and swelling of eye lids.
Treatment can be with anti histamines.
Also get RAST test done.
This test is done to find out the causative agent of allergy, which can be avoided.
Thank you
