Question

I have little itchy bumps around my eyes. I went to a general practice doctor, and they said a "warm compress" may help. I've tried stye cream, washing my face daily, and claratin. Nothing seems to help. They itch so bad that they swell. I am lost. Should I see a dermatologist?

Answer

Hello, you can do a skin patch test to find out if you are having any allergy.

If the bumps are present on the face around the eye, you may use topical antihistamine cream. You will require a prescription for this.

If you donot have any eye symptoms like itching, discharge from the eyes, you can consider consulting a dermatologist and using appropriate medicines.
