Q: Eye twitching and pimples around eye brow
asked by: caglin on May 28th, 2008

I've recently started having persistent twitching of my lower right eyelid. So far, this is the fifth day that this has gone on for. Today, I started getting bumps on my brow (that I hope is caused by the grease from my hands from inadvertently rubbing around my eye). However, I've never actually had pimples in this region on my face before.

I have been treating a fungus on my foot (which I assume is athletes foot) with an anti-fungal powder, and I'm afraid I made contact with my eye without having had washed my hands afterwards. This was before the twitching started.

Also, I had recently finished my school for the semester and had begun drinking moreso than I usually do. I stopped drinking recently but the twiching continues and these bumps had popped up (which I can also hope is from the alcohol).

Is this twitching a symptom of something worse from having had contact with the fungus? Is this most likely stress induced? Is there anything I can do if the twitching persists?

After about 9 days since this post the twitching has stopped. It was a gradual thing as well. It would happen less and less each day until it finally stopped altogether. This is after abstaining from alcohol so I believe it to have been caused by drinking and/or stress.

The pimples slowly faded away as any other pimple would so I believe those to be caused by alcohol or rubbing.

This is just for those that end up suddenly getting a sudden eye-twitch as well.
