What to do if the eye area is itchy, red and swollen due to allergies

The area around the eyes is a relatively sensitive area, so it is often faced with allergies, and redness, swelling and itching are the most common symptoms of allergies. Whether it is redness, swelling or itching, it will cause great pain to the patient, so if there is an allergy around the eyes, it must be treated in time. Before treatment can be initiated, the primary cause of the allergy needs to be identified. Here we will introduce to you the causes and solutions of eye allergies!

1. Causes

1. Mental factors: It is currently believed that this is the main cause of the disease. Emotional fluctuations, excessive mental tension, anxiety, sudden changes in living environment, etc. can aggravate the disease and cause it to recur.

2. Gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine system dysfunction, chronic lesion infection in the body, etc. may all be pathogenic factors.

3. Local irritation: Friction caused by a hard collar, chemical stimulation, insect bites, sunlight exposure, scratching, etc. can all induce the occurrence of this disease.

II. Treatment

1. Systemic treatment: antihistamines, calcium supplements, etc. can be used to relieve itching, supplemented by oral administration of B vitamins; sedatives can be used for severe itching; procaine intravenous blockade or combined use of tripterygium wilfordii drugs can be used for widespread rash.

2. Local treatment: You can choose glucocorticoid ointment, cream or solution for external use. For those with hypertrophy, you can seal the area or use 10% black bean distilled oil ointment for external use. Refractory skin lesions can be treated with local intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide injection.

3. Prevention

1. Relax tense emotions: Patients should remain optimistic and prevent excessive emotions, especially pay attention to avoiding emotional tension, anxiety, and excitement, strive to have a regular life, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

2. Reduce irritation: The most important reason why neurodermatitis persists and the skin becomes locally thickened and rough is scratching caused by severe itching. Therefore, patients should have the confidence that the disease can be cured and avoid using methods such as scratching, friction, and hot water washing to relieve itching. This is an important link in breaking the vicious cycle mentioned above.

3. Adjust your diet: limit alcohol and spicy food, keep bowel movements smooth, and actively treat gastrointestinal lesions.
