Significant itching and burning sensation on the eyelid

Introduction The obvious itching and burning sensation in the ankle is an indication of the acute clinical symptoms of eyelid eczema. Eyelid eczema is an allergic skin disease characterized by acute, subacute and chronic manifestations. It can be applied to the eyelids alone or as part of the body and facial eczema. Caused by chronic conjunctivitis, valgus or dacryocystitis secretions or tears often irritate the skin of the eye. Children with adenosis and malnutrition are prone to occur, often with vesicular conjunctival keratitis. Clinical manifestations generally have a certain degree of regularity.

Cause

The cause of the obvious itching and burning sensation in the eyelids:

1. Irritant drug reaction: Topically sensitize the substance. Such as penicillin, sulfonamide, atropine, iodine, mercury, pilocarpine and other ophthalmic drugs, or long-term use of cosmetics, metal glasses shelves (so-called glasses eczema).

2, the internal eye drug response: can be caused by sleeping pills, sedatives, sulfonamides, antibiotics, quinine, iodine and sodium salicylate. In addition, some people eat certain animal or plant proteins, such as fish and shrimp, meat, milk, eggs and shelled plants such as pods, can also occur in the eczema of the ankle.

3, due to chronic conjunctivitis, valgus or dacryocystitis secretions or tears often cause eye skin.

4, adenosis and malnourished children are prone to occur, often accompanied by vesicular conjunctival keratitis.

5, the motherland medicine believes that the rheumatic heat fels in the bubble, or long-term disease blood consumption, wind and dry.

Examination and diagnosis of obvious itching and burning sensation in the eyelids:

Physical examination: At first, the skin of the eyelids was red and swollen, and a large amount of blood rash, blisters, erosion, and scarring were seen locally. Pustules form when secondary infection occurs.

Differential diagnosis

There are obvious tingling and burning sensation symptoms in the eyelids:

Eyelid-underarm dystonia (blepharospasm-oromanbulardystonia), also known as Meige's syndrome, or Brueghel syndrome is a group of unexplained syndromes, mainly characterized by bilateral eyelid spasm and facial dystonia Involuntary movement. French scholar Heury Meige (1910) first described a group of cases. The disease is dystonia, and the paroxysmal tonic contraction of the affected muscles is several seconds to several minutes, and then spreads to other parts. Although electrophysiological and MRI studies speculate that the disease may be related to the midbrain and basal ganglia, the exact cause remains unknown. Some people think that certain sedative drugs can also cause the disease.

Eyelid edema: The eyelid skin is the thinnest part of the skin, and the subcutaneous tissue is loose, so it is prone to fluid accumulation and edema.

The edematous purple-red spot of the upper eyelid: the typical skin lesion of dermatomyositis, the edematous purple-red spot of the upper eyelid, spread to the periorbital, and gradually spread to the V-shaped area of the face, neck and upper chest. The elbow and elbow, especially the metacarpophalangeal joint and the metatarsophalangeal joint, appear purple-red papules with telangiectasia, hypopigmentation, overlying fine scales, called Gottron (Gordon) sign or Grottron papules.

Eyelid abscess: caused by staphylococcal infection, mostly caused by traumatic infection or following periostitis and osteomyelitis. The eyelids are markedly red and swollen, and there is an induration in the touch, followed by induration and softening, forming an abscess as a clinical feature. It belongs to the category of traditional Chinese medicine eyelids, which is caused by the invasion of wind, heat and fire.
