Hello,

You have blisters on the upper eyelids. Blisters on the upper eyelid is commonly due to dermatitis, acne, sunburn, or ocular herpes. The blisters are on different areas of the face and is itchy. You should avoid direct exposure to sunlight and wash your face and take bath with antibacterial soap. Avoid sharing your clothes, towel and toiletries with anyone.

For relief apply corticosteroid cream on the area affected. You can take antihistamines to control the symptoms, particularly swelling an itching. Take a course of oral antibiotics such as doxycycline, 100mg, twice daily for 3-5 days. The blisters should get reduced. Applying cool compresses will be helpful. Do not touch your face with dirty hands, do not scratch, do not pick.

If the blisters are recurring get clinically examined by an eye specialist to rule out ocular herpes or dermatologist. You will be treated accordingly. In case, it is affecting the cornea of the eye, corticosteroid eye drops may be recommended by your treating doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
