What Could Be The Reason For Having Eyelid Swelling, Itching And Stinging In The Right Eye?
I have been having eyelid swelling,itching and stinging for some time especially the right eye.
Nothing helps.Dr.has prescribed Erythromycin ointment to apply around eye area and also Patanol eye drops.
Skin is also very dry and scaly.I have have tried different creams expensive and generic and different strengths of
cortisone. I might mention that I am on Oxygen and thought it might be the tubing that touches my cheek but I think it is latex free,I am allergic to latex.
Thank you.
