My skin around my eyes is very itchy, does anyone know why?

Yes, it probably is due to allergies. Irritated eyes tend to be a persistent problem for us allergy sufferers. Antihistamines will help to block the histamine response the body has to allergens. They treat the body as a whole. Different ones have different effectiveness, depending upon the person and their unique body chemistry. Our allergist recommended Claritin for my daughter and had us give her an additional antihistamine / decongestant at night-time or before school. The Claritin works over 24hrs. The other "booster' works for usually 4-6 hours. Actifed, Dimetap, and Tavist work well. Just make sure they do not use the same ingredient as Claritin - otherwise you an get an overdose. (The companies keep changing their formulas each year and some are adding a Loratadine (claritin) ingredient in some new variants. The other thing that can help is to use an eye drops that has an Anti-histamine additive. Visine -A and V.Rohto are two examples. You have to give the medicine time to take effect and start reducing your histamine levels. Longer term - go see a doctor or an allergist. They have blood tests available to help you pinpoint which items in the environment you are reacting to. Reducing your exposure to them will help you out.

I would think allergies, I get itchy skin around my eyes as well from all of the rubbing, and using eye drops helps!

If you wear mascara and eye shadows, or eye liner, that might be the culprit. Use a little baby oil on a cotton ball and sweep from the inner corner of your eye, outwards. Then wash your eyes with eye makeup remover. That should do the trick if they are being bugged by makeup.

Allergies and just get a warm cloth and wipe them do not use same cloth on same eye

you could just have a sty.... they are very miner. to make the itch go away, run a cloth under warm water and hold it there for about 20 mins twice a day... when the cloth gets cold, warm it up

go to your opthamologist. he can prescribe you an ointment for it. maybe allergies or eye infection.

I working in pharmacy, If you have a skin affect problem, I recommend that to you, Please don't eat cheese, milk and dessert.
