What Causes Pain And Itching Around The Eyes?

Hi, i have woken myself up 4 times in recent months my scratching around my eyes. Im almost certain this has been when i have flown home after night shift and am quite run down. It hurts and they are usually quite deep. What could possibly be the cause of this. It s not a persistant scratching. Its digging in and just one scratch. I can t recall any dream activity that helps me to understand it either.

Hello,

It can be an allergic inflammatory lesion, take tablet Levocetrizine in the morning for ten days. Apply Caladryl lotion externally can go for an allergy test. Keep distance from an allergen, avoid any cosmetic; it can be in food drink, or a pet in the house can be spores floating in the air. Keep watch on them and try to keep a distance from them. 
 

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
