Re: itchy picky feeling on face

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I also have the same itching problem. Along my jawline is quite bad, but the

worse is the inside corner of my eyes, near my nose. I had thought all this

time it was a reaction to the nose piece on my new glasses, but now after

reading these posts, I am beginning to think otherwise.
