What's wrong with my eyelids?

They are red, itchy, burning, swollen and flaky. I thought it was eczema but I've never been like this before. I've also got patches on my chin but they don't itch or hurt particularly.

In fact my whole face burns a bit when I put on my normal Olay night cream. I've used it for several years though. And I'm not putting it on my eyes.

DH also thinks he's got the same thing happening to him. He's got a video call to the the GP tomorrow, but I'd like your input if possible.

Thanks.

I had this. It's believe it's dermatitis. Get some steroid cream from the doctor. It will clear it up.

Have you used any new eye make up recently? I always found that eyeshadow with a red pigment in made mine flare up.

Doc was fab. Anti histamine for the itching and cream that goes in eye and on lids. So much better already.
