Suggest Treatment For Dry Puffy Purple Colored Eyelids

I have very dry puffy purple eyelids. I was given steroids until I referred to see a allergy specialist in February! I am trying to work out what it is for myself as I was told by various doctors it may be a food allergy but researching it I am starting to think otherwise. The rash is only on my face and neck and I also have itchy lips and sometimes hives on my face and neck
