Question 1

a bump on my left side neck above collarbone when felt,not swollen.off & on sharp pain in left ear.itchy eyes & skin.muscle pain+twitches,what is it?

Accepted Answer

Lump on neck: The lump on your neck can be a number of things but could be a swollen lymph node.  Did you have any viral illnesses recently or come in contact with a cat that might have scratched you?  Itchy eyes are usually a sigh of allergies. If the lump does not go away it needs to be checked by your doctor.

Question 2

what are the cause of an itchy eye?

Accepted Answer

Allergy or dryness: Are the most common reasons for chronically itchy eyes.  An infection, usually viral, can cause more acute itching.  Best to see an ophthalmologist to confirm a diagnosis.

Question 3

itchy eyes and itchy red face?

Accepted Answer

Allergy Likely: These symptoms are typical from allergic responses.  Commonly, these could be from either environmental/seasonal allergy or a contact dermatitis type response (surface flare or inflammation due to coming in direct contact with something you are sensitive to).
If basic allergy medications or eye drops do not give adequate relief, see your primary doctor or an allergist or ophthalmologist.

Question 4

how do i cure a swollen itchy eye?

Accepted Answer

See your eye doctor.: Best to see your eye doctor to determine the cause. It could be from an insect bite, or allergic or infectious. The treatment would be determined by the cause. Generally cold or hot compresses depending on the cause, anti-allergic drops and possibly oral anti-allergic medication (antihistamine) for an allergy or insect bite, antibiotic drops without oral antibiotics for an infection.

Question 5

are itchy eyes a sign of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No: While many symptoms a woman may feel could be associated with pregnancy (nausea, vomiting, breast tenderness, etc.), I am not aware that a correlation exists that itchy eyes are an early sign of pregnancy.

Question 6

what is the cause of itchy eye in babies?

Accepted Answer

Infection: It may be an infection like "pink eye" or conjunctivitis.  Is the eye red or have discharge?  The baby may need an antibiotic eye drop.

Question 7

how can i get rid of extremely itchy eyes?

Accepted Answer

Treat the cause: If you have allergic conjunctivitis, then a topical antihistamine eyedrop such as Pataday or Optivar can alleviate the itching.

Avoidance is also highly recommended, if you know which allergens trigger the ocular symptoms.

Question 8

is baby shampoo good for dry and itchy eyes?

Accepted Answer

: I would never put it in eyes. If you are asking about using it to wash eye lashes or skin, I don't see a problem with it.

Question 9

what is the best treatment for dry itchy eyes?

Accepted Answer

Two separate: Eye allergies can be controlled with topical antihistamine and often with nasal steroid (on the nose only) as well.  Eye allergies may lead to dryness but people can have both with artificial or Rx anti-inflammatory eye drop needed. If you have allergies, best Rx is avoidance of allergens. Otherwise allergy shots may be the answer.

Question 10

what type of eye drops is best for itchy eyes?

Accepted Answer

Itchy eyes: I usually have patients start with a preservative free artificial tear, such as theratears.  Keep them cold, and they will be more soothing.  If the tears don't help, then try zaditor over-the counter twice a day for a few weeks.  If this does not work, ask your ophthalmologist for Pataday or lastacaft, (alcaftadine) both once-a-day potent drops for ocular allergies.
