What's going on with itchy eyes and swollen eyelids?

When we find that our eyes are itchy or swollen, we must pay attention to it, because some are caused by neurodermatitis, and some may be caused by autonomic nervous system disorders, so we must understand these reasons and then treat them symptomatically.

1. Simple itchy eyelids and peeling are not ordinary allergies, but are more likely to be neurodermatitis. Most people don’t know this, but it is a very common skin disease in dermatology.

2. Neurodermatitis is caused by autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which leads to increased skin sensitivity and is related to external irritants. Therefore, neurodermatitis patients should avoid friction and scratching, otherwise the itching will become worse.

3. Periocular neurodermatitis, its internal root is stress, insomnia, stomach problems, etc., among which stomach problems are the most important. Of course, some people have no symptoms of stomach problems, but they can be checked in the hospital, or there are changes in the tongue coating; therefore, treatment must take stomach problems into consideration;

4. For eyelid allergy, itching and peeling, do not apply ointments randomly, because general topical ointments contain hormones and are prohibited from being used on the face, otherwise there will be very serious consequences; the author generally recommends using cyproheptadine hydrochloride cream, which is a very common drug and does not contain hormones;

5. For oral medication, you can take Baixuan Xiatare Tablets, which are effective for some people; but for those with serious conditions, it is best to go to the dermatology department of the hospital to get Chinese medicine;

6. For patients with serious illness or obvious gastric symptoms, some medicine for treating gastric disease must be prescribed at the same time, such as Guipi Pills, etc.

7. Treatment time: The general allergy treatment time is one week; and the treatment time for neurodermatitis generally requires more than 20 days; because human nerve regulation is generally based on a cycle of 20 days; a time shorter than this can alleviate symptoms, but it is prone to relapse.
