What Causes Burning Sensation Under The Eyes?
Hello,
About a week ago I started having a burning sensation under my eyes. The burning sensation then turned into scaly dry skin and folds under my eyes that results in a puffiness. I use the SkinCeuticals line of skin care as well as Clinique eye makeup remover. I have stopped using the former since the irritation started, but nothing has changed. I looked online and it said to use baby shampoo to wash the eyes and put vitamin E directly on the affected areas, but I've been doing that for a week and nothing has changed. Do you think it's time for me to see a dermatologist? What are some known causes of this? I look like I haven't slept in 10 days with the folds/irritation under my eyes. I typically have a very smooth and taut under eye area, so this is a bit concerning. Thanks in advance for your help!

it is simply allergy. can stop all the thing for some time. it appears this is your professional requirement. can take levocetrizine 5mg tablretdaily. for cleaning plain water is the best. if you are meeting dermatologist then take professional advise for future. no use of vit e. dermatologist can examine and advise properly.
