I have been suffering with itching eye lids, face, and the upper area of my chest. I have had an allergy tested performed, went weeks without wearing make up, and use steroid cremes to make the itch more tolerable. Neither have worked and we have ruled out allergies as the cause. I was prescribed retin-a for the small red bumbs that appeared on my face and chest. I take steroid shots for the swelling, and a once daily antihistamine. At night time when I go to bed and wake up my eyes are red and inflammed. I have to constantly use eye drops to relieve the redness.
If you don't mind helping me I would greatly appreciated. Also, are there some natural solutions to relieve the itch? The antihistamines are no longer effective. Thank you for you time. Have a good day :)
