Eyelids abrasions: Do these "cuts" occur on both upper and lower eyelids, right and left? You may have dermatitis of the eyelids or allergy to make-up or some other product you are using on the eyelids. I suggest that you make an appointment with an Ophthalmologist/Oculoplastic surgeon for further evaluation and management. I hope this helps.
