weird rash under eyes, anyone else? 😳

Question

I've developed a weird rash under both of my eyes. Red, dry, itchy and flakey. At first it was just under my right eye and now I have it under my left eye too. I have read about contact dermatitis, but I haven't changed any products and I've only had this during pregnancy. (I was pregnant and miscarried a few months ago and started developing the same thing). Has anyone else experienced this and/or know how to treat it? Thanks!

Answer

That's so odd! I've had that before but not as I'm currently pregnant. When I was younger, I used this under eye dark circle remover and after a while, I got the same exact thing. Turns out I was allergic to it! Is there anything you have been putting on your face in that spot? You could potentially have become allergic.

Answer

I'm very sensitive to jewelry (usually just my ears) but when I'm pregnant I'll get a rash around my neck and under my eye from wearing necklaces ! It's just the crazy concoction of hormones for me.. maybe try taking any jewelry off if you wear it, or switch to sensitive face wash and lotions ? (Makeup can do it too)

Answer

Not sure if this is the same but when I'm pregnant my skin gets more sensitive and I develope eczema..

Answer

I've been getting that with my left eye, along with puffiness. I assumed it was allergy related rather than pregnancy related because I couldn't remember which came first. 
Keep it clean (wash off makeup once home if you wear it out). I alternate with hydrocortisone & old fashioned Vaseline for the dryness. Then I try to sleep on my right side since it's on my left. 
Not sure how old you are, I'm in my late 30s and assumed it was age related too. 
If I slack off  on taking care of it, it comes back; I wish you better luck than I've had!

Answer

Hmm I guess the mystery shall continue until I make it to the doctor! Thanks ladies.
