Suggest Home Remedies For Itchy Left Eyelids
For the past 3 weeks, my eye lids on my left eye have been itching like crazy. Sometimes my eyebrow will itch and sometimes my nostril will itch. All on the left side of my face. I try to avoid rubbing it when it itches but sometimes I can t help it. It s so severe that I have to do something to keep it from bothering me. Sometimes my eyes will get red too, but I have been using visine once a day for the past 3 days and it feels better. What could be causing it and are there any home remedies that could fix it?

Hi,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here
Your medical history can be suggestive of many medical conditions including conjunctivitis or eye allergy , it may also a result of dry eye syndrome which is a dysfunction of tear gland , also there may be foreign body like very tiny particle or there may be an eye injury but it needs thorough medical checkup and investigations to rule out the exact diagnosis
Warm compresses may be helpful. Hold a warm, wet towel on the eye for 5 to 10 minutes, four times a day , also rinse your eye with clean slightly warm water
Self medication may be dangerous and strongly not recommended and I would strongly suggest you to visit your eye specialist to get it examined and rule out the exact underlying medical condition
I hope it help
