What Causes Severe Itchiness Around The Eyes?

I have been having same simptoms for over a year. Sudden on set of intense itching crawling sensation. First starts either outer corners of my eyes or eyebrows. Travels to cheeks and down the sides of my face and ends in my ears. Outer and inner ears. Unbearable and lasts usually until I can sleep. Taking herbal sleep aids seems to calm it. Always starts in the evening, never morning. There is no rash or evidence that anything is going on.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to allergic conjunctivitis. I recommend using antihistamines daily to relieve the itching. I also recommend using steroid eyedrops for local treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
