Can Applying An Eye Cream On Lids Causes Any Serious Damage?
I made the mistake of putting an eye cream on my lids. I had been crying and had mascara smeared slightly on the eyelids as well. My eyes are very red and swollen, I have washed my face with PURPOSE facial cleanser and stayed away from anything else on my face. Im worried Ive done some damage

Hi
Normally medical eye cream or oint can be applied on the lids also. There is no harm.
But this appears to be hypersensitivity or drug reaction.
Plz note down this for future ref.
At the moment one can use anti histaminic tab for a day or two. Do not rub.
Hope it will be ok.
If one has used some cosmetic eye cream, it will be different case
