I'm pretty sure it's balinitis.

snort

Are you sure you haven't scratched the lower lid. Is it possible that you have an infection of the skin under your eye?

BocoBeak · 11/07/2007 18:30

O-ho. Sorry, mistake there, i meant balanitis.

BadKitten · 11/07/2007 18:52

Probabably not Bocobeak....

snort boco

probably not, unless she's got a willy growing out of her eye (think you may want to say blepharitis?)

BeetrootHeidi · 11/07/2007 19:14

a note re glasses - if you need them get them otherwise you will get more lines

BeetrootHeidi · 11/07/2007 19:14

dont think mine is washing powder.

Don't be too distracted by the glasses thing, they have this machine with 40 yo on it and then they start handing out reading glasses when you turn 40-45.

The optician told me this, he said 'You'll be alright, you won't have to wear glasses to read the menu and all your friends will' - and I paled and went into a dead faint at the thought of being 45 and having dinner with friends in reading glasses and at the idea that I'd be so SAD and my life so uneventful that I'd actually feel smug about it. I couldn't get out of there quick enough. And I've never liked the LEANING thing they do, on their silly, whizzy stools.

I can't remember - have you been to a dermatologist?

Why do you have politicians try to get off with you? What are they doing looking at your eyes? Why does your son have eye problems on his willy?

are you using loads of emoilent? my doc explained it as it fills in the cracks to prevent stuff getting in until the skin is healed. you have to keep putting it on.

I used to get this - can't remember what I did but it went away after a while.

That's helpful, isn't it

Have you tried calendula cream? (It's my answer for everything)

brimfull · 13/07/2007 13:19

Are you sure it isn't an allergy?

Oh
I have horrible allergic eyes,always tearing and itchy

WendyWeber · 13/07/2007 13:21

Mine wasn't (well, not to makeup, I don't use it) and it was to only one side - I think if it was an allergy it would be both?
