A member asked:
Could swollen, red eyelids mean an allergy to my skin lotion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could: The eye lids are very sensitive to contact allergens and many skin lotions have ingredients that are known to be contact allergens. I would recommend evaluation by an allergist to test for contact allergens.
