What Causes Occasional Tearing At The Sides Of Eyes?

I started off with occasional tearing at the sides of eyes caused redness and scaliness to the upper and lower parts of eyes.This then moved to the sides of my mouth. I did not use make up for a week and did not go to gym.. I was put on to benadril, claradin, zyrtec. I did not take the cortisone which dr recommended. The redness went away for a few days. On Sunday I went back to gym, applied new make up and went to a party . We were sitting outside under a heater and my eyes started feeling the heat. Today 3 days later, the eyes are tearing and the redness has reappeared, there is scaliness starting to appear at sides of eyes. Please advise me.

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having recurrent redness and tearing of the eyes. This indicates sterile inflammations of the eye like uveitis, scleritis or eiscleritis as you were prescribed with cortisone, a steroid. The condition is probably recurred as you have not used the prescribed steroid drug.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
