How To Treat Eye Irritation Caused Due To A Allergic Reaction?

I had an allergic reaction around my eyes two weeks ago it is still a little irritated but now one of my eyes won't open all the way.... not sure if I should call an eye doctor for my regular doctor? There is no irritation inside my eye at all it's just on my eyelid .

By addressing to your problem, it sounds more like a periocular skin condition rather than an ocular problem. As long as there is no blurring of vision, eye redness or eye discharge, it should be a non urgent condition. However, if you think the skin condition has caused you to have difficulty in opening your eyes, you should get it checked by a doctor to properly treat the exact condition.
