What Causes Eyelids Swelling And Itching Followed By Dryness?

My eyelids have been swollen and itchy on and off for about a year now. It first gets really red and itchy, then very dry, then gets better for a few days before it comes back. I ve stopped using basically everything- makeup, lotions, etc. I m running out of ideas as to what it could be from.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
These symptoms indicate allergy of the eye.
This requires treatment by the use of anti allergic eye drops, artificial tears and decongestants.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
