“What causes swollen eyelids?”
I'm a 20-year-old woman, and my eyelids are often swollen. I have allergies, but I'm not sure if they're related because I usually just get hives. What causes swollen eyelids?

There are many reasons to have swollen lids. The most common reason as you describe is allergy. Check for pollens, feathers (especially in pillows), pollution, products, perfumes, pets and other things to which you may be sensitive. Eliminate these things from your environment, try over-the-counter medications and seek the advice of an ophthalmologist or allergist.
Many things can cause swollen eyes/eyelids. Allergies are very often the culprit. Make-up and contact lens solution can be alternative sources. Start by trying hypoallergenic make-up. Clinique or Almay Trish McEvoy are hypoallergenic alternative make-ups.
