Suggest Remedy For Chigger Bites On Eyelids

I believe I have chigger bites on my forearms and face. One on an eyelid and earlobe. Also a fine rash on my chin. Benadryl cream has stopped the itch. My question is would it be safe to apply to my eyelid it is swollen and itchy. Swelling is better today. Noticed bites and rash Wednesday night after weeding my garden

Hello
Welcome to HCM.
You can apply it on your eye lid but take care and keep away from eyes.
If possible take benadryl syrup or tab.
For prevention of cross infection, take antibiotics after consultation with your doctor.
Hope this will help.
Take care...
