review your lotions, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, nail polish, etc. [1] they may not be related but I found that already sensitive eyelids got this way when I used any kind of nail polish and certain kinds of lotion. cortisone is not recommended on this already thin, delicate tissue. may want to try something like shea butter (pure) or petroleum jelly to alleviate the itching. is this a dermatologist? if not, try to get in to see a derm – they will have more in their arsenal to help. > ALSO…… what do you take when you feel that all over sickie >feeling running thru your body like a river.

lie down, whimper and feel sorry for myself until I’m sick of being a whimpering baby then get up an do too much until I have to lie down again. 
but seriously, seven up, crackers and writing a long snail mail to my friend. pamper yourself. Blessed Wishes, KCat [1] these items need not be "new" – you can develop allergies to stuff you’ve used for years and lupies are especially prone to this. a process of elimination might be in order. I use a pure oatmeal soap (no perfumes, not aveeno – too drying) and shea butter.

Hi, I too get the red, itchy and sometimes scaly rash at the crease in my eyelid…and it sometimes turns bluish so that it looks like it is bruised or that my eyes are ‘black’…I tried cortisone cream that I had for my skin rashes on my hands and arms but it wasn’t really that effective….I use ‘marcelle’ a hypoallergenic moisture cream and I buy one tube specially for eyes (the delicate tissues around the eyes are very thin and if you use too much moisture cream or sweat alot you can develope skin tags or bumps which are clogged pores) so you want to use only creams or ointments made specially for the eyelids.
