Swelling and puffiness around eyes
I was using Nizoral cream on forehead. As my eyelid was itching a lot, I applied little bit of ointment around it. Now the skin around eye has become extremely dry and is flaking out. There is sudden wrinkling and lots of visible swelling. I have stopped Nizoral and am taking antihistamines.
