Take one fair-skinned guy who has recently (over the past two years or so) acquired hyper-sensitive skin. Add an unknown irritant on his hands (likely picked up from the YMCA fitness room). Throw in an itchy eye, and what do you get? Why, Contact Dermatits, of course! It looks great, and feels even better, let me tell you. Somehow, I managed to get the unknown irritant on both eyes, the edge of my top lip, my neck and behind my right ear. This happened last year, as well. I have no idea what the heck I'm getting on my skin, but whatever it is, it sure gives my face a lot of character, don't you think? (Click photo for full size)

Very interesting... is it contagous? I've never heard of this before, but I don't think it sounds fun. Does it go away on its own or do you need meds to cure it?
It's not contagious, it's an allergic reaction to something that I got on my skin. I have to take an antihistamine (Allegra) and put hydrocortisone cream on it a couple of times a day. It pretty much sucks. It itches like crazy, but I can't touch it, or it will get worse. No fun. It should go away completely in two to three weeks.
I think it is very selfish of you to want to have this for two years in a row. Let someone else have it and don't be so needy! :)
