Inflamed eyelids - should I call dermatologist or opthamologist?

The skin around my eyes is red, swollen, and itchy. The eyes themselves are not red and there is no discharge. Should I make an appointment with a skin doctor or eye doctor? Thanks.Inflamed eyelids - should I call dermatologist or opthamologist?
You could see an eye doctor perhaps, but if it were me I'd just call up my family doc.


It's most likely an allergic reaction. Have you tried taking benadryl to see if it helps?Inflamed eyelids - should I call dermatologist or opthamologist?
eye doctor would probably a good idea, and the dermotologist is probably just gonna send you to the eye doctor. or you could go to the family doctor and get some antibiotics.
