Could Severe Itching Around Eyes Be A Result Of Surgeries Done For Trigeminal Neuralgia?

Merry Christmas ... I have severe itching around my eyes, and in addition to that, in my whole face, It has been thought this was due to the surgeries I have had for trigeminal neuralgia; recently, there has been some thought it is more related to my multiple sclerosis. I'd welcome your opinion.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having severe itching around eyes. This is usually not related to trigeminal neuralgia or multiple sclerosis.
The common causes for itching around the eyes are allergic dermatitis, eczema, blepharitis..
The treatment is by use of antiallergic drugs and antiallergic ointments.

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

Thank you
