Itching, swelling, and redness on the edge of my eyelids where my eyelashes are. When you get sleep gunk in your eyes when you sleep...my eyes are doing that while I m awake and a lot heavier across my entire edge of eye lid as I sleep. Where it is kind of crusting my eye closed. My eyes are fine. No pain or sight issues. Just the skin around my eyes.
