itchy eyes!?

Question

Hi Just recently I had had very itchy eyes that happens mostly at night but sometimes during the day as well. I have also found that the inside of my mouth gets very itchy, this too is more often at night. And I also find the backs of my hands itch, although nowhere else. I wonder if it is an allergy, although i havnt changed any deodorant/washing power/ make up etc for ages but I also thought it might be hayfever but I was told it was too early????? Does anyone have any ideas?? Especially with the tichy eyes and roof of mouth cos they are driving me crazy!!! thanks

Answer 1

Yeah I have similar, basically go and see your doctor.

It could be mild ezcema on your hands which some hydrocortizone cream 1% would clear up (available without prescription).
I use that and have a prescribed anti hystomine for my eyes called rapitil. But it could be conjunctivitis or blephoritis so see your doctor.

Answer 2

Think you may need to consult your GP although its a trial and error thing before you find what the problem is. Have you tried taking Piriton Allergy Relief tablets when you go to bed at night? They may make you drowsy, but thats why its better to take them at night. I sympathise - I'm always getting allergies to things and it drives me mad. Good luck.

Answer 3

Allergies are common this time of year. Take 1 benadryl and see if this helps. This is great for allergy symptoms!

Answer 4

Answer 5

Have a word with your local pharmacist, they may recommend an anti histamine. I suffer from hay fever and it affects my eyes, nose, roof of mouth and when it`s bad, my hands.
