I already posted a question relating to this...but wanted to clarify. I got an allergic reaction to mascara about 8 days ago- my eyelids were puffy and itchy. I was told by the pharmacist to take benadryl and apply cold compress. I did, and it helped a bit.. over time it got a lot better on its own. BUT right now, it's almost better, but at the lash line, it's still a little puffy-- and only at the base of the eyelids, near my lashes. It's nothing serious, I know, but if anyone knows: how long does it usually take to get completely back to normal?

It never got serious enough for me to go take benadryl (I already suspected I was allergic to an ingredient) but I've been through this. It should be better in a day or two. You should put ice (only for a few moments at a time) or a cold spoon (just put it in the freezer) on it. This should numb the itching and decrease the swelling. If its not completely back to normal in a few days I would go back to the pharmacist and see if they have a product to help. Good luck =) [ emilyy's advice column | Ask emilyy A Question ]
