Raised Small Red Bumps around Eyes

[Tammy1998]

My husband has been having skin rashes around his eyes, raised small red bumps, for several months and just won

I have had the same issues with these sore little bumps around my eyes. After months of searching everywhere for an answer to what they were I found out it was a form of dermatitis. All it took to clear them up was a 2 week course of antibiotics, not using any products on my face (exfoliants, harsh cleansers, toners, heavy moisturisers, ect), and switching to a soap free cleanser.
Whatever you do, stay away from any steroid creams! They seem to feed these bumps and keep them coming back.
I took the antibiotics back in November 2015 (roughly 2 months ago), made the changes with the products I use on my face and haven't had any issues since.
I know how horrible these things are so I hope this post helps:)

SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND SPARE YOURSELF THE SUFFERING!!!

Short answer: It's a fungal infection.  You can get Clobetasol Propionate Crean 0.05% for about $5 bucks/tube and it's gone in one day. Or less likely, it's a yeast infection in which case you can use the same cream and get the same results, or you can use one pill of Diflucan or you can buy Monistat 3 over the counter, but I consulted with MANY docs, many docs who are my long time friends, and they say just go with Clobetasol.

Long answer:  Ray's trials and tribulations point in the right direction. Eat healthy and exercise. However, I am a vegan and exercise daily, yet this nasty little infection will not be solved by lifestyle changes once the infection has set in. Once you clear it, yes, the lifestyle choices the Ray put forth are VERY valuable not only in preventing this, but preventing a very long list of avoidable negative health effects of eating the typical American diet.

Here are my observations about the things I read in this thread:

1- Alcohol does not help, so avoid it (for this and many reasons)
2- Coffee does not help, it only makes it worse.
3- Sugar does not help, it only helps to feed Candida and also slowly kill your body, so avoid it.
4- Steroids (Lotemax et al) in your eye WILL NOT HELP, and your eyesight will begin to go from good to bad to worse.  I saw an Ophthalmologist and he gave me many expensive drops that diminished my eyesight, and never solved anything in the short or long run. DO NOT SEE AN EYE DOCTOR, THEY WILL JUST GUESS AT STUFF REPEATEDLY AND GIVE YOU STEROIDS TO MASK THE PROBLEM which weakens the eye and the skin around the eye, and it's NOT AN EYE INFECTION IT IS A SKIN INFECTION
5 - If you see a dimwit Dermatologist you will most likely go through the same steroid-based treatment which weakens the skin and never "cures" the problem. Specifically, do not apply Hydrocortisone, Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfate and Dexamethasone Ointment THESE WILL NOT GET RID OF THE FUNGAL INFECTION. Likewise, they may say it's a form of Herpes and give you Acycolvir Ointment and if it's a fungal infection you will get the same results I did, none.

In short, AS SOON AS YOU CAN:
CLEAN YOUR SKIN (twice a day)
DRY OUT YOUR SKIN THOURUGHLY (everytime)
THEN DRY OUT YOUR SKIN FROM THE INSIDE WITH ANTIHISTAMINES LIKE CLARITIN
AND APPLY CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE CREAM AND YOU WILL BE FREE FROM THE HELLISH, EMBARRASSING, PSYCHOLOGICALLY DAMAGING NIGHTMARE OF GOING FROM DOCTOR TO DOCTOR FROM MONTHS OR YEARS TRYING THIS AND THAT. ATTACK IT AS A FUNGAL OR YEAST INFECTION, PERIOD.

ONCE YOU HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL, DON'T STOP, MAKE YOUR SKIN UNINHABITABLE FOR FUNGUS BY BEING RELIGIOUS ABOUT CLEAN, DRY SKIN WITH ANTI FUNGALS AND CHANGE YOUR DIET TO AVOID SIMPLE SUGARS THAT FUNGUS LOVES.

I HOPE THIS SPARES EVERYONE FROM THE TORTURE.

EAT SMART, EXERCISE, AVOID ALCOHOL AND LIVE WELL!

PEACE

Thank you for sharing!!! Have been having the same issues for a few months now... I am a vegan but for the eggs I eat each day as my one source of animal protein... i have been having several a day and your comment about the eggs being a possible source may have just hit the nail on the head.  I was initially thinking yeast as well so I plan to do a natural homeopathic to address any possible yeast issues and stop the eggs for a while an see what happens.  I work with children and deal with food allergies all the time, I have changed my children's diets and my own dramatically over the years and am shocked this never came to mind!!!  Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing!!!
