What Causes Soreness In Eyelids?

For about two weeks now, my eyelids (started with just left eye, but now both) started out with kind of a crusty condition and then became red, and itchy. I am not alergic to anything that I know of. I have been trying to lose weight (have lost 10 pounds in about 3 weeks) been on very HEALTHY diet of lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, celery salad and VERY LITTLE sugar at all. I have just started cleaning my eyelids with baby shampoo (as suggested on webmd on one place I was reading) but only started that yesterday and no apparent change so far.
