Hi Winky,

Welcome to HCM,

You seem to have irritant or allergic contact dermatitis on eyelids, and not scabies. It may be due to some contactants like dust,housedust mite,cosmetics, soap,grass,perfume,pollens..etc you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Steroids like methylprednesolone in tappering doses,antihitaminics like levocetirizine and antibiotics may be taken. Mild steroid cream with antibiotics may be applied. Avoid suspected contactants.You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
