What Causes Itchy And Dry Eyelids?
Hi! I ve got very itchy eyelids and they have lasted for a week or so. This morning they were dry, flaky and seemed puffy. I guess it s because I have been itching them. Any idea to what I might have and how it could stop. I also have a rash on my neck.

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having itchy and dry eyelids. Since there is also rash on your neck, this indicates probable allergy of the eye. This requires treatment by the use of anti-allergic drugs. Steroids are required in severe non responding cases.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist form confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
