Hi Dear ,
Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.
Understanding your concern. The most probable reason for your swelling and flaky skin on eyelids and lips is allergic reaction , contact dermatitis , sun burn or side effects of certain medicine .you should go to ophthalmologist .
Treatment should start with removal of underlying cause .Your doctor can prescribe you some antihistamine drugs for allergy either oral or In the form of eye drops . For now you can apply cold packs to your eyes and drink lots of water so that medicine you took , clear off from your body quickly. The symptoms will start reliving as medicine that caused allergy clear off your body and you start taking medicine . Do not apply any osmetic product . Doctor may also refer you to dermatologist or allergy specialist .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
