ok, so i started vaping on 2-20 and on 3-01 i was completely smokefree. all went really well. then, 2 weeks ago, i was rubbing my eyes and felt something burn. i thought to myself that maybe i had some juice on my finger from dripping and went to rinse off whatever it was.
well, since that day i've been looking like a raccoon, except my eyerings are red. i was not able to clear it up at all and switched to the only vg juice i had about 3 days ago. no luck, so off to the dermatologist i went .
he really has no idea what caused it but is convinced we are dealing with allergies, could be pg, vapor drifting up to my eyes, flavors in the juice, who knows. i never had any allergies before and i am no spring chicken. he prescribed some cream which is helping to soothe the skin. btw no problem with my eyes, it's just the skin around the eyes but, lol, the pulling, itching, unbelievable.
so, has anybody suffered the same way and was able to pinpoint the cause?

Nicotine causes your face vessels to dilate which gives you a racoon face. Just the opposite with your heart, the nic makes the vessels constrict.

For itchy eyes Walmart, etc, has a small white over-the-counter pill that's an antihistime but doesn't have benedryl so it doesn't make you sleepy. But it sure gets rid of itchy eyes. Used to be called Wal-iten. Seems they change the name of these handy little antihistimes real often. Ask a pharmacist where they are.

Good luck to you! :)
