Red Bumps & Extreme Fatigue Around Eyes: Possible Causes & Relief


Question
Over the past week i have begun to get small red raised bumps appear under and around my eyes, they are painful to touch but are not like pimples. Around the same time i have started to feel incredibly tired all the time, it doesn't matter if i get 6 hours or 12 hours sleep i still feel like i haven't slept at all. The past couple of days i have also started to find my eyes are feeling very irritated a lot, almost like my eyelids themselves are irritating them every time i blink and i have had excess sleep build up around my eyes while i sleep and they sometimes weep during the day as if im crying. If you can think of anything that may be causing any of these symptoms i would be so grateful. Thanks.

Answer
around both eyes sounds like some type of allergic reaction, possibly from a cream/suntan lotion?  Or eczema.... "allergic skin"    Try one of the steroid creams like cortaid, but if not better, get it looked at.....

The sleep in the eyes may be an eyelash hair follicle infection though.... we usually treat that with an antibiotic ointment like erythromycin.... so I assume you are gonna have to get it evaluated.....
