A member asked:

If the skin around my eyes is itchy (the lids and the skin under my eyes). what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor: What you describe is likely allergy related, but you should see an ophthalmologist to be sure. There are eye drops that can be used to treat the symptoms, if it is allergy.
