Hey everyone! These past couple months I've been getting these itchy dry rashes on the inner upper eyelid of my eye and I was wondering what they could be from? I stopped wearing eyeshadow, lashes, eyeliner, any makeup on the eyelid that might irritate it, but it still stays for about a week :/ its been going on and off, and compared to how much makeup I usually wear, now I can only wear a little bit maybe once a week :( anyone know is this could be from or what helps it?

Its probably eczema, I don't know any eczema cream that is safe to apply over the eyes so you'd have to consult a derm

Go see a professional, I wouldn't play around with my eye area... its too dangerous and important.

I would also recommend avoiding all of your recently used eye products until you see a professional.

GO TO THE DERMATOLOGIST! The exact same thing had been happening to me. I waited too long thinking I could wait it out and I even self diagnosed and that was sooooooo stupid of me. PLEASE don't wait til last minute, it spreads larger on the eye area and irritates much more ):
I had been prescribed Protopic as a cream and told to use Cetaphil for a gentle face wash and it was gone around two weeks.
Renew all your eye makeup and every once in a while wash your eye lids and lashes with baby shampoo.
