About two weeks ago I had an odd bump on my nose, thought it was going to turn into a pimple. The next day, I noticed a similar bump on my left eyelid. MIT was so tiny, I wouldn't have noticed, except when I went to put on my eyeshadow it HURT. The next day I had one in almost the same exact location, but above my right eye. When I woke up the next day, I had 4 more spots clustering around the outer corner of my eye and down around the skin below my eye. There was swelling both above and below my eye. My husband urged me to see the doc because the tiny pimply spots hurt when touched/stung/itched and looked like how his shingles did when it first started. The doc quickly ruled out shingles because I had spots on both sides of my face, and one on my neck. She gave me a steroid cream and said to follow up in a few days. I used the cream for 2 days and they were gone, so I cancelled my appointment. Since then, I have had the tiny spots, just a couple, show up again around both eyes. They seem to only last a couple of days and then go away without using anything special, other than avoiding makeup and facial products.
I haven't found any other explanation that seems to match what is happening to me, other than possibly periocular dermatitis. Does this sound like anything anybody has experienced? I don't have large red patches, maybe a tad bit scaly with the worst of it last week. I have been using a tad bit of cortisone cream mixed in with moisturizer (had no idea how bad it was) nearly all winter because my face has been so dry, itchy, and flaky and that seemed to help. I have quit using it since reading these posts. Just wondering if this more mild type thing that I seem to have might be this. Thanks!
it crept up to my eye area as well. Others have had it reach to their necks. I got it under contol eventually but I was at my wits end until I did!
