allergies?

Hello everyone . I tried posting in the allergies forum but no response . At work under my eyes get itchy and tight . And some hot flashes on my ear I take an allergy pill and sometimes this won't happen but sometimes even when. I do take the pill it still happens? Allergies or something else?

Hi IP,

Does this just happen at work? Could it be something environmental there?

Do you work on a computer long hours? I am wondering if you have eye strain and facial tension that could be causing this?

Finally, how about simply dry skin? If your office is air conditioned...this along with regular Summer weather will dry out skin, causing it to itch. A facial lotion may be just what you need.

Looking at all the possibilites here above will hopefully get you the answers you need.:)

IP,
Surely it's just allergies. Even when I take Claritin and take all the preventative measures to help my allergies I still experience symptoms. As for the hot ears, I experience this with or without allergies. I get this sensation usually when I'm nervous, or even when I'm not nervous, and I just chalk it up to my adrenaline kicking in gearing me up to experience some un-needed anxiety ;-)
