Is it possible for you to have an allergic reaction to your own tears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: It is very unlikely that you are allergic to your own tear. If you already have other skin rashes in the facial area, tears can irritate the rashes and make them worse but it is not an allergic reaction.
