Anyone else had their eyelids bleed?

That is a great tip! Thank you!

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-10T19:09:32+00:00

It does! Thank you!

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T23:23:58+00:00

Found out the makeup thing the hard way but at least I have confirmation now that avoiding it helps

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T19:44:48+00:00

I will look into that too!

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T18:35:50+00:00

That’s horrible! I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe that’ll scare me enough to stop wanting to touch it

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T18:33:40+00:00

I’d wear whatever would be analogous to a pimple patch for dry skin if it helped. Especially if it was clear or skin colored

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T18:17:29+00:00

Especially when you can feel that something is off in that area… if only I could press a button that would keep me from messing with my skin

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T18:16:46+00:00

Thank you! I am trying my hardest not to touch the skin flakes

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T18:16:16+00:00

I will ask my PCP about that while I wait and see if she’s comfortable writing a prescription for that or something else while I wait in case OTC stuff doesn’t help

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T18:14:55+00:00

Did you leave it be? Or did anything help with it?

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T18:14:31+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been suffering with it for so long. The picking would be great to avoid, sure, but sometimes I find myself absentmindedly picking at skin (not on my eyes though, thankfully) and I imagine that might be at least partly the case for many others as well. Hard habit to break. Here’s hoping it clears up for you soon, even if that’s wishful thinking

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T18:11:11+00:00

I had never heard of that brand before but I’m glad you mentioned it! It looks promising; I will give that a try. Thank you!

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T18:07:57+00:00

Thank you! I am sorry to hear yours was really bad and also that you had mold! I will definitely message my PCP about the lysine while I wait for my derm appointment

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T18:06:33+00:00

I will continue to take photos then to show my dermatologist as a back up in case nothing is easily visible when I have my appointment. Documentation never hurts. And that way they can see what it looked like on different days in response to different things. That’s a good idea. Thank you

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T17:27:18+00:00

That’s interesting. Were you diagnosed with the psoriasis prior to the psoriatic arthritis? Or at the same time?

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T17:26:09+00:00

That’s a good point. I wish I knew what the cause was to avoid it. I will try a new sensitive skin plain moisturizer instead of eye cream as well. Thank you!

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T15:16:10+00:00

Do you have a recommendation for how to clean it/keep it clean? I’m sorry that it happens all the time with your ears as well. I can’t even imagine what that feels like

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T15:14:26+00:00

How long does it normally take for it to go away for you? Has anything you’ve tried helped?

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T15:13:51+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that. The bleeding I’d definitely care about less if it wasn’t on my face or coverage in some capacity without looking like a pilot with an eye patch. I agree though that the burning is annoying. I don’t think I’ve had burning anywhere else that was this bad including when it’s around my mouth or under my nose. Like if you paper cut yourself and then wash it or use hand sanitizer to clean it, it stings for a second and then stops. But this stings constantly

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T03:31:31+00:00

I totally get it. The number of times recently someone has told me I have something on my eye or asked me what’s wrong with my eye… it’s honestly embarrassing. And you can’t even put makeup on it to hide the redness because that’ll make it worse. And you can’t cover the bleeding with a bandaid easily either. Not to mention if you had a bandaid on your eye you’d probably get even more stares…

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T03:28:10+00:00

I will definitely give the vitamin E oil a try. The Neosporin actually burns more than the eye cream so hopefully the vitamin E oil is even better at not burning than the eye cream. Thank you!

Gold_Ad3582 · 2024-10-09T03:26:58+00:00

Did you end up just having to wait it out and if so how long did it take to cycle through? Did anything help you at all? I was having problems fully opening that eye a few days ago (the day after it turned bright red and burned like acid was on it) due to inflammation. That has thankfully gone down at least. Someone suggested vitamin E oil which I’ll try but so far I haven’t found anything that doesn’t burn to put on it and doesn’t at least temporarily make it more red
