Hello, From the symptoms it can be due to an allergic reaction to the eye makeup that you have used. Take some oral antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin if there is any itching and apply some calamine lotion on the rash. Also wash the area with plenty of fresh water and do not apply the eye makeup for some time. If the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a dermatologist as topical eye drops containing steroids and oral steroids may be needed.

Hello, I started getting swellen eyes about two years ago. One eye or the other would swell up like a ballon to the point I could hardly see out of it. It turned out to be a couple of things. One being the new dryer sheets that I had dried my sheets with. The swelling would start during the night while I was curled up in the sheets. I think it would happen if a tear or wet hands after returning from the bathroom would touch my eye area. I don't know if this is your problem but don't rule it out.

Allergies may present with runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, hives, urticaria, itchy eyes, difficulty breathing, or an exacerbation of existing asthma.

however, two days into using these products, my eyes and cheeks have swollen up, i've been sent home from work and my entire face is in agony. It feels like it's been burned and all the pores are stretched painfully over the swelling. i have NEVER had an allergic reaction to a skin product before. it hurts an unbelievable amount. I've taken a zirtek and put some anthisan on the swelling but it still hurts a lot. Is this something that will calm down itself or should I see a dermatologist?

My two year old son woke up with swollen eyes on 2/28/11. After a visit to the pediatrician, the nurse practioner diagnosed him with a sinus infection coming out of the eye. He did not have a fever and did not have a runny nose or even cough. He was treated with amoxicillian until 3/8 where he was back at the pediatricians office because he was not improving. The nurse practioner gave the same diagnosis and changed the medication to augmentin.

Yesterday evening my 13 year old daughter was playing outside and after exploring under a big tree she came in and within just a few minutes both eyes were severely swollen.

She woke up around 7:15am and her eyes are almost shut from the swelling.

After taking some benadryl it seemed to get better. However the following morning my eyes were swollen again and my face red and ichy.

Less than 3 hours later he was back in the Er with same symptoms but more severe! Again, the cycle of drugs was given and symptoms subsided.

My sister told me she thought I had shingles and not an allergic reaction. Do allergic reactions normally take this long to go away? I'm on my way to work today looking like I have some disorder or measles or exzema? I can't stay out of work any longer. No one else in the family has broken out so I'm guessing I'm not contageious either. Should I ask to have my blood taken? What would tell us why this happened if anything?

Just before Christmas she had an episode with puffy, swollen eyes, after smelling and handling herbal-scented soaps in a store.

About the same time, her friend bought her a new winter hat, and she wore it a lot on a week-long ski trip.

The only thing I KNOW i'm allergic to is fish(not shellfish, crawfish, lobster and crabs) just fresh fish. But that only makes throat swollen and itchy watery eyes, occasional hives when the fresh filet has ever touched my skin.....no bowel problems or weezing.
