Greetings. You could possibly be allergic to something that you have applied around your eyes - like eye liners / other cosmetics. Or you could be allergic to pollen /dust etc that can sometimes cause localised hives in certain areas exposed. Have u other wise had any allergies in the past / and history of asthma or nasal allergies?
Suggestions:
1. use an antihistamine medication available OTC
2. avoid use of cosmetics / even nail polish - consider cosmetic series patch testing if symptoms recur after using products - so that you know what to avoid
3. SEE A QUALIFIED DERMATOLOGIST NEAR YOU.
Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Benglauru
