What Causes Watery Eyes, Rash On Face/neck When Having Chronic Sinusitis?
I have chronic sinusitis (for 10+ years) that is often accompanied by a sticky, weepy eyes at night and a itchy, burning rash on my face and neck. My sinuses drain during the day and no significant blockage shows up on CT scans. My doctor thinks I may have allergies and has given me steroids and antihistamine nasal sprays that do not seem to help. I do get some relief from saline flushes, but they are not capable of curing the problem. My facial and neck skin are horribly aged due to the rashes and dry skin. I would like to get a biopsy from my sinus and figure out what this is once and for all.
It may help if you can determine what provokes the allergic reaction. Allergy tests can be conducted. These can be in the form of blood tests or skin prick testing.
The skin prick testing would have to be done by a dermatologist or allergist.
If the allergen can be determined and your exposure reduced then it may reduce you symptoms.
I hope this helps
