Itchy, Red Rash Around Eyes. Taking Loratadine. Waiting For Blood Results. Suggestions?

In July this this year I came up in a itchy red rash aroude my eyes. On my eye lids and the eye sockets and above my lips. I saw my G.P who prescribed Daktacort .This helped reduce the itchiness and the redness ,but does not last. I was advised to take an anti hystimine when I saw my GP last week and he queried if I had become sensitised to my makeup. I am taking Loratadine 10mg daily which has helped the symptoms ,but now the redness and itchiness is returning under my eye and a small red itcy patch at the side of my face .I am not using amy make up on my face to see if this makes a difference.
I am 51yrs of age fit and healthy. weight 7.5stones and never ill. I do not have any health problems. My G.P has taken bloods to check for anaemia and I am awaiting the results. I have never has skin problems or allergies before.
I do not know what else I can do except for ? try an antibiotic to see if this makes a difference.
