First i will explain the symptoms:
Have periods where i can feel that the outside corner of my left eye is itchy. It is usually minor but can get more and more itchy. Recently both my eyes have been quite itchy and uncomfortable, this tends to be more in the evening but can sometimes be in the afternoon, usually mornings are fine. It doesnt seem to matter which house i am in, though im not entirely sure as i havnt stayed away from home for a while for a long enough period to judge.
Anyway, how the below picture was taken: This evening, both eyelids felt itchy, particularly the left, i eventually gave in and rubbed it for a few seconds, quite firmly. I then almost immediately felt a bump every time i blinked which was painful. Decided to take a photo so i can see for myself what is going on under there.
Now, ive been to two experts, one said it could be blepharitis, but more likely seasonal conjunctivitis. Another expert said it is likely an allergy, but to what she doesnt know.
I went to the doctor who gave me opatanol anti allergy eyedrops which to be quite honest in about 4 weeks of use have done nothing whatsoever to stop the itching.
Any opinions at all would be appreciated. I do have random flair ups of this in the past, but never reached a conclusion as to what it is.
