Eyelid rash....only after biking

I have been fighting an eyelid rash for 4 -5 weeks. I only bike on the weekends due to other obligations. The rash seems mostly clear up during the week, and then flare up Saturday evening (after long bike ride earlier in the day), and worsen on Sunday (I ride again). this has developed into a pattern…any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

Is it like a heat rash? Or more like an allergy?

I get the same thing… Seems to be where a lot of salt builds up

I really don’t know…I’d say closer to a heat rash. But, I’ve been doing this stuff a long, long time and it has just started.

Pics?

Maybe try washing your helmet and the pads inside? Could it be that old sweat and possibly bacteria is growing in the pads and dripping down into your eyes on a long ride? Just a thought.

self taken 2 minutes ago w/ iphone. It was clear until this afternoon.

That’s what my wife thinks. I do wash my helmet, but am due for a new one.

What about sunscreen or moisturizers, or even soap/shampoo that you are using in the morning before your long ride? I’m just throwing out ideas

Yah, i have gone through everything. Really can’t find anything that I have changed. I am boringly consistent! However, biking seems to be the common denominator…certainly correlation, not sure on causation…I even tried a different helmet, same thing. And, just one eye.

Do you ride in sunglasses? How often do you clean/ disinfect them?
