Hello
It seems from the history that you are having itching and swelling of the eyelids.
This indicates allergic blepharoconjunctivitis.
The treatment is by use of anti allergic eye drops like olpatadine andcstetoid eye ointment for local application to eye lids.
Since the symptoms appear to be severe you need to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
