What to do if eye skin is allergic

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and the skin around the eyes is very important in protecting the normal functioning of the eyes. Since the skin around the eyes is relatively fragile and sensitive, if you encounter allergies, you should first clarify the cause. In terms of diet, you should also pay attention to eating less or no fried foods. In addition, you also need to pay attention to physical hygiene and keep the indoor air clean. If the situation is serious, you should go to the hospital in time.

The skin around the eyes is relatively fragile, so what should you do if the skin around the eyes is allergic? Eye skin allergies not only affect appearance, but also affect vision. Below, the editor will introduce 6 methods to relieve the symptoms of eye skin allergies. Let’s take a look.

1 Once skin allergies are discovered on the eyelids or eyes, the first thing we need to do is to determine which drug caused it. Once determined, the drug should be stopped immediately and you should not come into contact with or use the drug in the future. Apply cold, wet compresses of saline solution locally for temporary treatment, which usually relieves symptoms significantly after a few days. If it is only a mild allergy, that is, the redness and swelling are not obvious and it is slightly itchy, you can take orally: 5 mg of levocetirizine capsules once a day, 200 mg of vitamin C tablets three times a day. You can also apply hydrocortisone butyrate (Eudrol) ointment + 10% zinc oxide ointment topically 2-3 times a day.

2 If an allergic reaction occurs around the eyes, the patient should try to eat less or no fried, greasy foods and cold drinks as they can easily induce allergies. During the allergy period, you should avoid eating high-protein foods such as milk, fish, shrimp, etc., as these are "trigger foods" that will aggravate allergy symptoms.

3 Pay attention to body hygiene, use sulfur soap to take a bath to relieve itching and kill bacteria. If the itching is severe, you can take antihistamines such as Astemizole tablets and vitamin C tablets for treatment. Pay attention to rest, drink plenty of boiled water, eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins. During the acute period, do not eat kelp, milk, lamb, beef and other foods that may aggravate allergic symptoms.

4. Keep the indoor air clean. Because there are pollutants such as dust mites, dust, formaldehyde, and biological dander in the indoor air, they can not only cause patients to have allergies, but also make the allergies more serious. Therefore, patients should use an anti-epidemic and sterilization air purifier, such as Shengyang, to purify indoor air pollution and reduce dangerous allergens.

5 Because the skin of the eyelids is thin and tender and rich in blood vessels, it is sensitive to the stimulation of cosmetics. Sometimes even a small amount of contact with cosmetics can cause severe allergic reactions in the eyelids. Therefore, during the allergy period, you should stop using these cosmetics.

6 When the air is too dry, drink more water and eat more fruits to keep your skin moisturized and reduce sensitivity caused by dry skin. In addition, detergent residues on towels, clothes and pillowcases can easily cause skin allergies, so be sure to clean them thoroughly when washing. When traveling, it is best to bring your own towels and pillowcases to reduce the chance of allergies.

Precautions

1 Eye skin allergies will have a certain impact on the eyes. Therefore, during the allergic period, patients should not wear glasses or contact lenses, do not scratch the affected area with their hands, and do not wash the affected area with hot water. Pay attention to a regular schedule and do not put too much pressure on yourself.

2 If the condition is serious, you should go to the dermatology department of the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid delaying the condition by indiscriminate use of medication.
