What Causes Swollen Red And Itchy Skin On The Eyelids?

HELLO, I AM CONSIDERED BECAUSE FOR THE PAST FOUR WEEKS MY UPPER AND LOWER EYELID ONE ONE EYE HAS BEEN SWOLLEN, RED, SCALPY AND ITCHY. I WAS PRESCRIBED HYDROCORTISONE .5% TO APPLY TWICE A DAY, BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE HELPING. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I TRY TO GET RID OF THIS.

Hello ,

Your symptoms points towards Blepharitis eyelid infection.If it could be due to an allergic reaction then hydrocotisone could help .But as there is no improvement, it seems to be bacterial infection of the eyelid for which antibiotic ointment can be prescribed.

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