Okay... has anyone had this before or think they know what I should do?

For the past month.. yes a MONTH... I've had really swollen and puffy eyes.. its really itchy and really really dry. It looks really terrible and I hate it!

They are really red and swollen (my upper eyelids, not the eye itself) and by nighttime my eyelids turn kinda hard and scaly-looking?? It looks weird but not many people have noticed because I cover the red spots with makeup and can't look at anyone in the eye now

At first... after a week or two, I looked at my eye really close in the mirror and saw that where I usually draw in eyeliner, there was a line of puffiness there.. so I threw away all my eye makeup and bought new ones.. after that didn't work, I stopped using make up for a week and still...the same.. I washed my bed sheets, changed from feather stuffed pillows to a different kind, cleaned the house and sprayed febreze everywhere...

still... the same.....................................

I don't know what to do!! I never have skin problems.. SO frustrating~! I never even get acne!! So I don't know WHY my skin is being so sensitive..

My doctor didn't prescribe anything for me!! She just said I am allergic to something (obviously!) All I use is vaseline on my eyes before I go to sleep so it won't get so dry and I've tried other "intensive dry skin" lotions and creams.. nothing has worked and I am so sick of this!!!

ANY ADIVCE!?!?!?!
I am going through the same thing. And I also never had any problems before until this year. Im beginning to think its something in the air. This past month Ive been having alot of sinus problems too so there is got to be something in the air that does not agree with me and I honestly think that is what is causing the eye problems too.

I also get the weird puffiness from eyeliner and it almost seems like I have exzema on my eyelid now or something like that and I bought all new makeup and it didnt help. I barely put on make up much anymore. I pretty much gave up on contacts too. But Im not really having problems anywhere else, just the eyelids.
