For the first time in my life, I've got this problem... I'm 29year old female, nothing's changed in my daily routine, make-ups same, toiletries the same, cleaning products are the same, yet a couple of days ago my eyes have became quite itchy.. Itchy to the point that once I start rubbing them I have to force myself to stop as I know I'll make them worse & swollen.. I haven't got excessive patches of dry flaky skin yet, but I know it's on its way as my eyelids seem so dry. Also, I've got
Darker bags under my eyes than usual.. There's no goo or pink eye, it's solely the skin outside of eye.. Like I said, never had this before.. It can't be the cold weather either..
The only thing that is different in my life is a new man, who I started seeing few months back.. Weird thing is, couple weeks ago I noticed how dry/flakey & sore his eyelids were, I'd never noticed before. I mentioned it & he said he's had it for as long as he remembers, it flares up at times & itches like mad. He puts it down to working outside everyday, conbination of cold & wind irritates it.. He works away & only comes home weekends so that's why I've never seen it before...
The last 2-3 weekends I've been staying at his apartment & then coming home for mon-fri.. But I've stayed in his apartment for the odd night here & there over past several months with no issues.. Call me paranoid but does anyone think this could be something contagious?? He only had it 1-2wks ago....
