Eyelid dermatitis is caused by an irritant on or around the eyelid that causes the immune system to react. It can also be the result of an autoimmune problem, where the immune system starts attacking the body’s own tissue by mistake. Treatment of eyelid dermatitis involves providing medications to ease the itching and irritation in the short term, and finding out what the irritant was so it can be avoided in the long term.
