Swollen Eyelids Irritation And Dryness And Almost Peeling
I recently started have been waking up with swollen eyelids that are dry and almost peeling. I've recently started an acne medication prescribed to me by my doctor. I haven't put the cream near my eyes but still wake up with swollen, dry eyelids. My makeup is still the same. I'm not sure what the problem is.. I also find my lips to be extremely dry as well.

You have inflammation or infection of the eyelid. It is called Hordeolum. You will need ceertain anti inflammatory medications along with antibiotics. Hot water fomentation will help. Kindly visit an ophthalmologist for the medications. Dont apply pimple creams, the may damage your eyes.
