    I suffer from this condition; didn’t realize so many people suffer from eyelid dermatitis. The older I get the linger the flare ups last. This year I had to see a dermatologist. I finally found an eyelid moisturizer that does not cause a reaction. Maelove eyecream but definitely no eye makeup. Thanks for your report. You are a super Dr.

    3 years of eyelid eczema/dermatitis. Countless doctors. Diagnosed with ocular rosacea, blepharitis, contact and allergic dermatitis. Finally after 3 years, horrible wrinkles, and weeks when I would not leave the house, I insisted on patch testing which showed a very strong reaction to paraben. I thought my Cerave (and other)products were safe, but my moisturizer had paraben. If you are stuggling with this issue, get patch tested.

    I started dealing with this recently!! It was so frustrating because I kept cutting things out for a few days to see if it improved, starting with things that came in contact with my eyes directly and then working my way away, and nothing helped! I went on vacation during this, however, and it cleared up within a day which severely reduced the possibilities. Once back home I figured out it was the fragrance in scented candles 😭. Why can’t I have nice things?!?! Boooo hisss.
    Thanks for the info!!! So thorough. I would never self treat with anything, but cutting things out to figure out the culprit was easy to do.
    Love these q&a’s!

      I bought a wax warmer for christmas and one type of wax with pine and generally heady scents really hit me bad, the second I opened it I was sneezing and my eyes just started itching. Now many therapists are switching to these essential oil burners, and my therapist thought I was crying but it was the "zen" of her oil diffuser. You cant even escape it in whole foods. Regarding avoiding all fragrances: I love haircare and the amazing scented products and the sensations that go with them, so its really tough when it comes to eliminating allergins, I think because scent triggers so many memories. I think once your eyes dont burn though you really realize that whatever you gave up either has or has a dupe which is fragrance free.

    Thank you so much for this video. Everything you share with us is of huge value. I am very thankful for that. I'm a makeup wearer and experience this every winter. As soon as it gets cold outside plus the changes of temperature and humidity through the air and the heaters, my eyes go crazy and begin to water a lot so my eyelids gets very irritated and itchy. I stopped wearing powder eyeshadows, let my eyelids rest and then switched to cream eyeshadows hoping it'd work, and it did! There is probably something in the powder eyeshadows making my eyelids react this way, especially in Winter.
    Have a great day. 😁

    I just listened to your Q&A on rosacea, and for the first time saw "ocular" rosacea. I have dry eyes and frequent blepharitis and lacrimal gland obstructions and conjunctivitis. I have chronically had swollen eyelids with a yellow rim around the outer eyelid adjacent to my lashes, and next to that a red/purple rim ( also on the outer lid) of tiny vessels. I have been told my eye and eyelid irritations are secondary to seasonal or external "allergies". I have never had information about how mites and the parasites within mites, could be the specific allergen affecting my eyes (as well as my cheeks=rosacea). I am making an appointment with a dermatologist asap. Thank you; your are a service to the public and your dermatology colleagues that benefit from increased appointments, from your fan base.

    Lots of great info! Thanks! I have flaky eyelids constantly! I think is my retin a is migrating to my eyelids while I sleep. I don’t place it on my eyelids, but it still gets on them. Also beware of laundry detergents - especially on bed sheets. I have to be super careful with laundry detergents with lots of dyes and perfumes. I use very little detergent in my washing machine and try to buy the “free and clear” kind. The washing machine effectively cleans the items without too much detergent needed anyway.

    Literally woke up yesterday with what I guess is a small blepharitis spot on my lower lash line. I had this happen once before a few years ago. It feels tender but thankfully they go away pretty quickly with gentle qtip cleaning and warm compresses. I figured I need to change my mascara. Alternately this winter I was dealing with some eczema (I suppose) on my eyelids. I *think* when I was putting my moisturizer on after differin that I was moving some of the differin onto my lids. I never considered it could be something like my shampoo. This video was VERY informative and interesting. I rarely think about my eyes in relation to my beauty products if I’m not putting that thing directly onto my eyes. I really appreciate it.

    I went through this three years ago. I was fragrance free with skin products, but not rinse off. It was my shampoo and conditioner, which listed fragrance and linalool in the ingredients. The eczema would come and go, and I was using the shampoo a couple of times a week, so it took me awhile to figure it out. I also have hay fever, and sinus problems with fragrance and pollen. Thankfully pollen hasn’t given me eczema, at least not yet! Thanks so much for the info on this subject, it’s really needed.

    I had eyelid dermatitis & to this day I have no idea what causes it. My guess it’s an airborne allergen. Went to a dermatologist who prescribed me a $90 cream. So I took matters in my own hands. I found that the Aveeno Eczema Cream was the only thing that would calm & moisturize my irritated and bone dry eyelids. Today, I use whatever products I use for my face that is appropriate for my eyes; products that will strengthen the skin barrier while hydrating & moisturizing my eyes. And I haven’t had it in over a year! It usually pops up when I travel, due to climate changes I guess.

    I always loved dying my hair and expensive shampoos and conditioners and no matter switching to CeraVe, some hair lines have caused horrible reccurences of this. I truly think this is caused by the wrong shampoos and conditioners because most conditioners are instructed to be left on during washing the body, so when the conditioner is rinsed off it ruins the effects of the face wash. My final step (the hardest for me) will be switching to a good clean shampoo and conditioner. Can you recommend one Dr. Dray?
