omg i'm having this problem as well!its been re occuring and its always really bad around my eyes and my mouth.i feel so unconfident and i hate going out in public with it.i cant cover it with makeup because it really kinda enhances it more and it irritates it as well.i think it might be some products that i used on my skin.this usually happens when ever im using like either a mac foundation,concealer or the setting spray.its always breaks me out.but sometimes i dont even use those and it still just appears!its awful!

Hey everyone.  I had this same problem for years, got prescribed steroid cream and once I ran out the red bumps would come out even more so.  Then my doctor put me on antibiotics and they came back.  What I thought was a hopeless situation turned out for the better-after washing your face at night, use Pure Vitamin E OIL on your face.  CVS brand or any brand works for that matter, but it has to be the Vitamin E OIL.  I have not had an outbreak since and I hope this helps you all like it helps me.

wow.. who knew!
I"ll try this before seing a doctor:

recommended how to self fix

•Stop all face creams, lotions, cosmetics, and sunscreens being used.
•Stop any dental products with fluoride and anti-tartar ingredients until the rash has resolved, and then try a different dental product.
•Wash with warm water alone until the rash improves, and then use a soap substitute to clean your face.

Ok, I found the answer to red pimple under eye!  Went through a thousand blogs! No one knew what this was...no one got better for any length ...one person stopped using toothpaste ! One in a thousand! It worked..took a few days to heal completely for my son. There is a toxin in it that causes this rash...pimples...swelling red...under eye! No kore toothpaste! No it's not the floride...it's another poison, not listed...it's even in tom's....you can look it up on line sodium laurel sulfate...it's in everything....that bubbles...but it makes animals go blind...it's used as insecticide but is in toothpaste and baby shampoo...they lie and say it's natural but it's as natural as another insecticide...starts from coconut...they change the molecules, turns it to poison...anyway...no toothpaste , no rash....

Having this problem aswell - what looks like hives/bites under my eyes.. This is the fifth week, have been on antibiotics, steroids, antihistamines and it keeps flaring up. Not sure what caused it. Went to health store so I am detoxing now with spirulina, nettle tea and putting coconut oil on the rash under my eyes. Spirulina to cleanse the blood , nettle tea to help with allergy and coconut oil , apparently has anti-fungal properties.  Ive also bought an non-SLS toothpaste, a natural one.This is the second day of the detox and lumps are reduced in size slightly. Will post back in a few days /week with another update.
