Itchy Eyes and Nose After Wetting Face
Off and on for a few years now I've been getting itchy around my nose and eyes every time I wash my face or take a shower. It seems to be worse when I use facial cleansers, but it can happen simply when I just splash water on my face. I notice that it happens more when my face feels really oily before I wash it. I have acne prone skin. What is happening and how can I alleviate this problem?

Kindly follow the following instructions.
1. You may be having demodex infestation - which can be treated with appropriate medicines.
2. You must use a oily skin cleaser.
3. Apply a non comedogenic moisturizer / barrier relief cream - this will prevent the dryness/ itching/tightness of face.
