Eyelid dermatitis is a very common condition. Two types of eyelid dermatitis are atopic (allergic) contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis.
Symptoms of eyelid dermatitis may appear in one or both eyes. Your symptoms may be chronic or may occur only occasionally. They may include the eyelids themselves or the surrounding area.
Eyelid dermatitis has many causes and it may be difficult to understand what is causing your symptoms.
If the trigger / cause of your symptoms can be identified, its removal will be your first and best line of defense, on which treatment will ultimately depend.
