Eyelids
If your eyelids burn and your eyes are bloodshot, it could be ocular rosacea, a painful inflammation that may be linked to the parasite Demodex folliculorum.
The fix: Give your eyelids a daily bath, says Toronto dermatologist Benjamin Barankin, M.D. With your eyes closed, rub a mix of equal parts baby shampoo and water over your lids, and rinse well. After symptoms clear, repeat weekly for prevention. If that doesn't solve the problem, see your dermatologist for a prescription treatment.
