A member asked:

Forehead swelling due to benzoyl peroxide; brought down with prescription prednisolone but eye swelling began and is persistent. am i allergic to prelone too?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gravity: The swelling of the eyelids is probably just due to gravity with fluid from forehead going downwards. Ice packs followed by hot packs after 24 hrs will resolve this swelling. This is especially true if only one eye is involved and it is the eye below the forehead swelling.
