Please Help ....... allergic reaction to eyes - desperate!

Hi there,

Is anyone able to help me.

On Dec 8th I had my last operation for breast cancer. During the surgery they taped my eyes closed. I had a sever allergic reaction - my eyes became very swollen, bright skin (itchy and burning), cracked and peeling.

I was given steroids and they got better and after awhile I tried using a mascara - and my eyes became swollen/red again. I have since had 3 course of steroids but everytime I stop them my eyes get worse again (it is so depressing because I look soooo awful - and people stare).

I have seen a dermatologist who will be giving me a patch test but the apt came through today for AUGUST - I simply cant wait this long. I have never ever had sensitive skin before but think the damage to them may have made them hypersensitive.

Does anybody have any recommendations as to what I could use on them?

Please help if you can.

Thanks

No help to offer sorry, just didn't want you to go unanswered. Hopefully someone will come along with some advice soon.

have you tried taking an antihistamine?
hope you get it sorted soon.
