Hello
It seems from the history that your boy friend is having swelling of the eyes associated with patches of redness on neck skin.
This seems like allergic reaction involving the skin of the eyelids and edema or swelling of the eyelids is probably because of allergy.
The treatment of the condition is by use of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
