I had the same thing. Red bumps and swelling around my eyes. The first dermatologist I went to thought it was allergies. She prescribed Alegra and a topical steroid. FYI any time you are given a topical steroid you should only use it for a very short period. I used it for way too long now my problem is 1000 times worse. I just got back from a differnt dermatologist who knows what he is doing and he diagnosed me with "perioral dermatitis." It is a common bacterial problem, which is usually treated with antibiotics. This sounds like the same problem alot of you guys are having. I start my antibiotics today so Ill post back when I have some results. Hope this helps guys. http://www.aocd.org/skin/dermatologic_diseases/perioral_dermatiti.htmlT

I just got random red bumps around my left eye. I use to wear the foundation I've always put on and now this!!! Is it contagious?? How often does it come back?? How long will it take before it goes away?? It itches but I'm able not to itch except when I wake up I forget all about it.
The Red Bumps Under The Eye is a Fungal issue. I recommend the anti fungal by PUREMEDY. You also will need to wash your pillow case every night and try not to sleep on your side. your will have to apply the gel 3x per day for up to 3 months. this worked for me. Les.

I thank you all for your help in resolving my problem, also: red bumps around my eyes. I tried several of the suggestions above but none were successful. My doctor suggested I see an opthomologist as it might effect my vision but I had not done that yet.
In the end, what has almost gotten rid of my bumps, after 3 weeks is, doing the Healing Code, from the book by Alex Loyd & Ben Johnson. It came out in March, 2010 and is in its 6th printing by Dec. 2010. There are 370(!) reviews of the book on Amazon and most tell of what it did for them as it has for me. The red bumps were just part of my problems so I am grateful for this wonderful new tool. The link to the book is here and I recommend it highly! http://www.amazon.com/Healing-Code-Alex-Loyd/dp/1935529633/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1293496044&sr=1-1
My doctor said it was Perioral Dermatitis too...I googled it and it's chronic-which means it doesn't go away.
