title: Eyelid dermatitis.
abstract: Eyelid dermatitis is a common problem, probably owing to the thinness of eyelid skin and to myriad chemical preparations that touch or are placed near the eyelids. These include eye makeups, ophthalmic preparations, airborne allergens, anti-aging medications, sun screening agents, and chemicals that touch the face from hand usage. Finding the cause starts with an excellent history followed by an exacting examination of the skin.
