Hello Roz: I am sorry you have cellulitis. I have heard that it is very painful. Your eyelids are super sensitive and it must be driving you bananas. I, too, have allergies and am constantly rubbing my itchy eyes. I will be more careful now. Having an infection so close to the brain is serious. Please take extra care and if you get any new symptoms no matter how small get to a doctor right away. Take care, Lil
