Are Having Itchiness And Burning Sensation In The Left Eye Sign Of Lupus?
Lately i have itchiness in my left eye and skin in the outer corner always red and burning as if it is cut. I went to the eye doctor three months ago and he said it is dryness and gave me an over the counter eye lubricant...no change at all...I was worried because he asked me if i was ever diagnosed with Lupus..and i never did

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There is a condition called Sjögren's syndrome, which can be a part of lupus, where you experience extreme dry eyes and mouth. Other symptoms are fatigue, joint pains, numbness, etc. But it can be diagnosed by blood work and you should talk with your pcp.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Take care.
