Allergic contact dermatitis causes include:Poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac.Hair dyes or straighteners.Nickel, a metal found in jewelry and belt buckles.Leather (specifically, chemicals used in tanning leather)Latex rubber.Citrus fruit, especially the peel.More items...•
Irritant contact dermatitis occurs when your skin has a negative reaction to something that touches it, such as soap or a cosmetic product. This form of eyelid dermatitis can be painful, but is temporary. Your symptoms should go away soon after you remove the irritant.
Some common foods that may trigger an eczema flare-up and could be removed from a diet include:citrus fruits.dairy.eggs.gluten or wheat.soy.spices, such as vanilla, cloves, and cinnamon.tomatoes.some types of nuts.
Dermatitis is caused by a combination of immune system activation, genetics and environmental triggers. Immune system. Sometimes your immune system overreacts. If you have atopic dermatitis, your immune system reacts to seemingly small irritants or allergens.
If you have sensitive skin, or conditions such as eyelid dermatitis or blepharitis, using Vaseline can be a safe way for you to moisturize your eyelashes.

Disease. Periocular dermatitis, also known as periorbital dermatitis, is a common dermatological disorder characterized by inflammation of the eyelids and the skin surrounding the eyes.
The chief compliant of patients with periocular dermatitis is usually redness surrounding the eye, with or without involvement of the eyelid. The location, laterality, and distribution of redness may provide clues as to the offending agent in cases of ACD or ICD.
Periocular dermatitis typically has a good prognosis, with most cases resolving within one month of treatment. For cases of ACD and ICD, relapse depends on the successful identification of the causative agent and subsequent avoidance of it.
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is by far the most common cause of periocular dermatitis. Type IV hypersensitivity responses may be induced by a variety of allergens, including ingredients commonly found in eye makeup and perfumes. These include resins, solvents, volatile oils, preservatives, and pigment.
Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is caused by injury to the skin due to friction, temperature, or chemicals such as acids, alkalis, detergents, and solvents. While it accounts for 70-80% of contact dermatitis as a whole, irritant contact dermatitis plays a lesser role in periocular region as this area has less contact with these irritants than the hands or arms.
Treatment of most cases of periocular dermatitis revolves around avoidance of any triggering agents and symptomatic relief with topical medications. Regardless of whether an offending agent can be identified based on the patient’s history, all periocular use of cosmetics and skin products should be suspended.
The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis involves multiple factors, including breakdown of the epidermal barrier, abnormal skin microbial flora, and immune dysregulation. All the above processes may contribute to impaired barrier function, often leading to bacterial or fungal superinfection.
