There's a limit to what you can put on your eyelids, as they are very delicate, when I have had allergic itchy reactions, I have used health food store Calendula gel & very cold black iced tea also works to relieve swelling.
Use ice in a washcloth to help take down swelling and itch. Take some Benadryl to help also.
I use compresses of cooled chamomile tea. I keep it in the fridge for extra relief. It really helps with the itchiness.
When the children were very young, for mosquito bites etc, I was told to dissolve an aspirin (make a paste) in a little water and dab it on the affected area. No more itching, and the swelling was gone in a few hours.
What did u disolve
I used to get mosquito bites on my eye lids all the time, it really sucks because my eye would swell up and I would be embarrassed to go to school. My mom used to use a wash cloth with boiling water, and press it against my eye for minutes at a time. This worked, but I do have to admit it didn't work immediately. The process took time. The swelling didn't completely go down until after a few days.
I was told by my pharmacist no creams or ointments on eyelids. One rub the the wrong way and the ointment can go directly into your eye possibly blinding you.
