Allergies / stress

[Guest Posts]

I have bright red edging my lower eyelid, I don't know if it is due to high stress or allergies.
Any advice would be welcome and appreciated.

Hello Tania, with any change in your physical or emotional health it is worth seeking a consultation. It is possible that you might have a treatable condition that your GP can quickly prescribe to address. However, as you also mention stress, it would be worth being open with your GP about this and also if this is a significant issue for you then it might be worth considering accessing either self-help resources or NHS services (see some of the links elsewhere in my clinic responses). With kind thoughts, Andrew (Prof Thompson)

It could be because of stress or allergies bothering your eyes. Try some relaxation methods like deep breathing and consider using over-the-counter allergy drops. Keep your eyes clean, use moisturizing drops, and try cool compresses for comfort. Also, how long has it been since you first saw signs of redness on your eyelid?
