Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having itchy and red skin around the eye. These symptoms indicate allergic blepharitis. This requires treatment by the use of anti-allergic eye drops and anti-allergic drugs.
Along with the medical treatment exposure to allergens and lid hygiene by lid scrubs needs to be done.

Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
I find this answer helpful
